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....
