FORCIBLE STRAIGHTENING OF SPINAL CURVATURES DURING COMPLETE ANESTHESIA.

Paroxysmal pain during spinal anesthesia

provided the original work is properly cited. CC A 69-year-old female of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II was admitted for a left total knee replacement. She had injured her left knee with a crump when she had picked up something to her right side 2 months prior. She complained of a limping gait due to a disturbance in walking, with a score of 20 on the visual analog sca...

Thermoregulatory response thresholds during spinal anesthesia.

Reportedly, during spinal anesthesia, the shivering threshold is reduced approximately 1 degree C but the vasoconstriction threshold remains normal. Such divergence between the shivering and vasoconstriction thresholds is an unusual pattern of thermoregulatory impairment and suggests that the mechanisms of impairment during regional anesthesia may be especially complex. Accordingly, we sought t...

Comparison of blood pressure measurements on the upper and lower extremities during spinal anesthesia

Introduction: During spinal anesthesia, measurement of blood pressure is often obtained by an indirect method using an inflatable cuff on the upper arm. The relationship between the blood pressure measurements at the two sites in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia is unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the difference observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP) taken from the upp...

INCIDENCE OF SHIVERING DURING CESAREAN SECTION IN PATIENTS UNDER SPINAL ANESTHESIA WITH OR WITHOUT FENTANYL

Background & Aims: Postoperative shivering is one of the common complications of surgery in the recovery room, with an incidence rate of about 50-60% in various reports. Postoperative chills usually result in unwanted hypothermia during operation. Materials & Methods: In this study, patients were divided randomly (after selecting one of 32 card containing coatings) into intervention group (n=4...
