Filter by:The nerve blocks applied with ultrasonography are used for pain and operation after many operations today. Applications with ultrasonography shorten the processing time, reduce the amount of local anesthetic used and lead to fewer complications. However, the use of ultrasonography is not so common in neuraxial regional anesthesia applications. In the literature, epidural applications accompanied by ultrasonography were applied with different approaches.
The rate of cesarean delivery after epidural analgesia for labor has not been reported in our institute. The aim of this study is to elucidate incidence of cesarean delivery in parturient whom received epidural analgesia. Besides, factors associated with the rate of cesarean delivery were studied.
- Background: The previous reports tried to reduce shivering and improve neuroaxial anesthesia characteristics by the systemic use of different drugs. This study was directed to evaluate the effect of pregabalin premedication on both shivering and epidural outcome data following single shot loading. - Patients and Methods: Eighty patients, ASA grade I and II, undergoing surgeries under epidural anesthesia were studied. The patients were divided into two groups: Pregabalin group and Control group in which the patients received 150 mg of pregabalin and placebo capsules respectively sixty minutes prior to surgery. Following epidural loading, the onset and degree of shivering were compared between the two groups. Also, the epidural outcome including onset, level and duration were traced and compared. The perioperative hemodynamics, sedation scores, patient satisfaction and side effects were followed up and registered.
The purpose of this single arm open-label study is to capture additional data that can add to the original COMPASS (CompuFlo® Assessment Study) clinical trial database that supported the 510(k) application, which was given clearance by the FDA on June 9, 2017.
Forty pregnant women (36 to 41 weeks gestation) will randomly allocate to two groups. Groups will be defined based on the method used to identify the epidural space for epidural anesthesia: the loss of resistance group (n=20) and the epidural electric stimulation group (n=20). Pain during the cesarean section will be assessed using a numerical visual analog scale and maternal satisfaction by a post-partum interview. The success rate of epidural anesthesia, maternal satisfaction, and neonatal Apgar scores will be compared between groups.
Pregnant women, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2, who receive epidural analgesia/anesthesia for childbirth will have epidural catheter placement per our standard procedure, which includes using the gravity flow technique to confirm that the tip (aperture) of the epidural needle is indeed located within the epidural space. The study procedure will be to use a cold stimulus (ice) to assess the subjects for hypesthesia the dermatomes of the lower abdomen between 10 and 30 minutes after the epidural catheter is inserted. Hypesthesia to cold will be taken a sign of successful lumbar epidural block.
The purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of postoperative urinary retention between retained and non-retained urinary catheter in total knee arthorplasty with epidural anesthesia
Surgical resection is one of the most important treatments for solid organ cancer. Whereas cancer recurrence and/or metastasis are the major reasons of treatment failure. The outcomes after surgery are mainly dependent on the balance between the immune function of the body and the invasiveness of residual cancer. Preclinical and retrospective studies suggest that anaesthetic techniques and drugs may affect the long-term outcomes in patients undergoing cancer surgery. The investigators hypothesize that epidural anesthesia-analgesia may improve long-term survival in the elderly who undergo major surgery for cancer.
Epidural analgesia for childbirth may fail to provide adequate pain relief. At NYULMC, to maximize the likelihood that epidural analgesia will work well, the gravity flow technique is used when performing epidural procedures. The gravity flow technique is not well known, and is therefore used in only a few hospitals. The purpose of this study is to quantify the reliability of the gravity flow technique to accurately validate the position of the epidural needle tip when performing lumbar epidural analgesia in laboring women.
To compare the postoperative analgesic effect and the intensity of motor block in different concentration ropivacaine plus fentanyl when used epidurally with a patient-controlled analgesia device after Cesarean delivery.
