Anaesthesia for chronic spinal cord lesions.
Increasing numbers of patients with spinal cord injury present for surgery or obstetric care. Spinal cord injury causes unique pathophysiological changes. The most important peri-operative dangers are autonomic dysreflexia, bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory inadequacy and muscle spasms. Autonomic dysreflexia is suggested by headache, sweating, bradycardia and severe hypertension and may be ...
متن کاملA Unique Case for Spinal Cord Stimulation: Successful Treatment of Small Fiber Neuropathy Pain Using Multiple Spinal Cord Stimulators
Spinal cord stimulators have commonly been used to treat multiple pain conditions. This case report represents a unique case of using multiple spinal cord stimulators for widespread small fiber neuropathy pain. This case report concerns patient JJ who first presented with generalized neuropathic pain. His pain was an intermittent burning, stinging quality that originally focused in both of his ...
متن کاملBrain and spinal cord metabolic activity during propofol anaesthesia.
We have investigated the effects of propofol anaesthesia on the metabolic activity pattern of 35 regions of the rat brain and cervical spinal cord using the 14C-2-deoxyglucose technique. Anaesthesia was produced by an i.v. bolus of the commercial preparation of the drug (8 mg kg-1) and maintained with successive bolus administrations of 6 mg kg-1. Functional activity values (expressed as rates ...
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulators and radiotherapy: First case report and practice guidelines
Spinal cord stimulators (SCS) are a well-recognised treatment modality in the management of a number of chronic neuropathic pain conditions, particularly failed back syndrome and radiculopathies. The implantable pulse generator (IPG) component of the SCS is designed and operates in a similar fashion to that of a cardiac pacemaker. The IPG consists of an electrical generator, lithium battery, tr...
متن کاملAnesthetic Considerations and Perioperative Management of Spinal Cord Stimulators: Literature Review and Initial Recommendations.
BACKGROUND Patients with implanted spinal cord stimulators (SCS) present to the anesthesia care team for management at many different points along the care continuum. Currently, the literature is sparse on the perioperative management. What is available is confusing; monopolar electrocautery is contraindicated but often used, full body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe with particular sy...
