Continuous infusion epidurals for obstetric analgesia.
Continuous infusion of local anaesthetic for epidural analgesia in obstetrics was first described in 1963. t However, this method of providing pain relief in labour did not become popular, probably because of the limitation of the mechanical pumps available at that time and also the tachyphylaxis associated with the use of lidocaine or mepivacaine. 2 Recently, continuous infusions have been des...
متن کاملObstetric epidurals and chronic adhesive arachnoiditis.
It has been suggested that obstetric epidurals lead to chronic adhesive arachnoiditis (CAA). CAA is a nebulous disease entity with much confusion over its symptomatology. This review outlines the pathological, clinical, and radiological features of the disease. The proposed diagnostic criteria for CAA are: back pain that increases on exertion, with or without leg pain; neurological abnormality ...
متن کاملContinuous Spinal Anesthesia for Obstetric Anesthesia and Analgesia
The widespread use of continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) in obstetrics has been slow because of the high risk for post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) associated with epidural needles and catheters. New advances in equipment and technique have not significantly overcome this disadvantage. However, CSA offers an alternative to epidural anesthesia in morbidly obese women, women with severe cardiac...
متن کاملContinuous subarachnoid infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine for analgesia during labour.
We have studied 20 primiparous women requesting pain relief for labour, to determine the feasibility of subarachnoid infusions of bupivacaine for analgesia. A 28-gauge catheter was inserted into the subarachnoid space through a modified 22-gauge Sprotte needle. After a bolus dose of up to 1.5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, a continuous infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine was commenced. If analgesia became...
