Age-related decrease in toe-thumb temperature difference with lumbar epidural anaesthesia.
With lumbar epidural anaesthesia, big toe skin temperature increases and is associated with a compensatory decrease of thumb temperature. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether thumb-big toe temperature differences were affected by age. Following the attachment of temperature probes at the digital pad of the right big toe and the right thumb, lumbar epidural anaesthesia at L2/3...
متن کاملToe skin temperature as a guide to epidural anaesthesia dosing.
To determine the time for additional epidural anaesthesia, skin temperature of the big toe was evaluated in 50 patients undergoing mastectomy. Epidural catheters were placed at or near the T5-6 intervertebral space and 12 ml, lidocaine 1.5% with 1:200,000 epinephrine were injected. When the skin temperature, which had increased following epidural anaesthesia, decreased by 0.3 degrees C without ...
متن کاملLumbar epidural anaesthesia and sensory profiles in term pregnant patients.
Sensory profiles of lumbar epidural anaesthesia were studied in 57 patients, during active labour. The local anaesthetics used were chloroprocaine three per cent with and without epinephrine, chloroprocaine two per cent, bupivacaine 0.25 per cent and a mixture of chloroprocaine three per cent and bupivacaine 0.5 per cent. A common pattern of spread was found for all local anaesthetic solutions ...

Figure 1. Full-thickness defect of the volar aspect of the right distal thumb. DESCRIPTION A 56-year-old right-hand-dominant man sustained an avulsion injury to his right thumb while operating a rotating chain machine, resulting in a full-thickness traumatic defect of the volar aspect of the distal thumb measuring 7 cm 2 (Fig 1).
متن کاملEpidural Anaesthesia in Children
Evidence suggests that pain control is at least comparable and in many cases improved when compared with intravenous techniques (2). Epidurals provide optimal analgesia whilst avoiding opioid-related side effects, with studies demonstrating fewer episodes of hypoxaemia or respiratory depression and a reduced need for postoperative ventilation and intensive care (3). There is also greater haemod...
