Neuraxial anesthesia and surgical site infection.
Surgical site infections remain among the most common serious perioperative complications. The overall incidence is 1–3%, but the risk is 10% or more for colon resections. Deep-tissue and organ-space infections, and those involving implanted hardware, are especially serious. For example, the overall infection rate in a representative sample of patients undergoing hip and knee replacements in Ta...
متن کاملNeurological infections after neuraxial anesthesia.
Infection is the commonest cause of serious neurologic sequelae of neuraxial anesthesia. The incidence depends on operator skill and patient population. Meningitis, a complication of dural puncture, is usually caused by viridans streptococci. The risk factors are dural puncture during labor, no mask and poor aseptic technique, vaginal infection and bacteremia. Epidural abscess is a complication...
متن کاملModern Neuraxial Anesthesia for Labor and Delivery
The availability of safe, effective analgesia during labor has become an expectation for women in most of the developed world over the past two or three decades. More than 60% of women in the United States now receive some kind of neuraxial procedure during labor. This article is a brief review of the advantages and techniques of neuraxial labor analgesia along with the recent advances and cont...
متن کاملNeuraxial anesthesia decreases postoperative systemic infection risk compared with general anesthesia in knee arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Surgical stress has been shown to result in immune disturbance. Neuraxial anesthesia (NA) has long been hypothesized to blunt undesired surgical insults and thus limit immune compromise and improve surgical outcomes. We hypothesized that NA would decrease postoperative infectious complications compared with general anesthesia (GA) among knee arthroplasty patients. METHODS We studie...
متن کاملTemperature monitoring and management during neuraxial anesthesia.
F rank et al. (1) surveyed 102 members of the ASA to determine temperature-monitoring practices during neuraxial anesthesia. Their results indicate that only a third of the anesthesiologists in the United States routinely monitor temperature during neuraxial anesthesia. This conclusion is probably correct; nonetheless, it is worth considering some limitations of this study. For example, only 60...
