Quantitative assessment of differential sensory blockade after lumbar epidural lidocaine.
A cutaneous current perception threshold (CPT) sensory testing device measures both large and small diameter sensory nerve fiber function and may be useful in evaluating differential neural blockade. Eight subjects received both lumbar epidural saline and lumbar epidural lidocaine. Five milliliters of normal saline was administered and the CPTs were measured. After the saline, 10 mL of 2% plain...
متن کاملCaudal epidural blockade in adolescents
BACKGROUND Various options are available for the provision of analgesia following major surgical procedures including systemic opioids and regional anesthetic techniques. Regional anesthetic techniques offer the advantage of providing analgesia while avoiding the deleterious adverse effects associated with opioids including nausea, vomiting, sedation and respiratory depression. Although used co...
متن کاملEffect of thoracic epidural blockade on hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in rats
Objective(s): The present study was aimed to investigate the influence of thoracic epidural blockade on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. Materials and Methods: Forty eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups, named normoxia hypoxia hypoxia/ ropivacaine and hypoxia/saline. Animals were placed in a hypoxia chamber and instrumented with epidural catheters at the t...
متن کاملEpidural corticosteroid blockade in cervicogenic headache.
Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a relatively common form of headache stemming from the neck structures which presents some pathophysiological condition probably linked together with various pain-producing factors. This report presents a series of 9 patients suffering from cervicogenic headache and the results achieved by means of epidural steroid (methylprednisolone 40 mg) injection into the epi...
متن کاملEpidural blockade improves substrate utilization after surgery.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that epidural blockade with local anesthetic improves the anticatabolic effects of glucose after colorectal surgery. Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h glucose infusion at 4 mg. kg(-1). min(-1)) on the second postoperative day with or without perioperative epidural blockade....
