Vascular Anesthesia

Anesthesia for Major Vascular Surgery

Most of the pathology is due to diffuse atherosclerosis, a systemic progressive disease that can cause: Arterial plaque enlargement, arterial embolism, or complete occlusion of circulation. The plaque location is often at the bifurcations where turbulent fl ow might exist. Mostly at the carotid coronary arteries, iliac arteries, aorta and superfi cial femoral artery. The symptoms might vary wit...

Systemic Reactions of Intraosseous (Vascular, Spongy) Anesthesia

Separation of the methods of local anesthesia on diffuse and vascular that we proposed (Petrikas et al.), is related to the safety of dental spongy anesthesia. PURPOSE: To evaluate the systemic complications of dental spongy vascular injection based on publications and our records. Spongy anesthesia containing epinephrine, in each subject causes systemic reactions of the sympathetic or parasymp...

Regional anesthesia for major vascular surgery.

The relative merits of general vs regional anesthesia for patients undergoing major vascular surgery has been the subject of debate over the past decade. Previous studies of regional vs general anesthesia often were deficient in experimental design and, therefore, did not produce definitive answers. Some of these deficiencies related to non-standardized, poorly conducted, and/or described gener...

[Anesthesia for lower extremity vascular bypass with peripheral nerve block].

Vascular bypass is a surgical procedure widely used to treat peripheral vascular disease. The intraoperative anesthetic technique and the most appropriate postoperative analgesia for these high-risk patients remain controversial. We present the case of a patient undergoing femoropopliteal-distal bypass in our service, presenting with relevant comorbidities to the choice of anesthetic technique....
