View clinical trials related to Epidural Anesthesia.
Filter by:Adequate pain control, rehabilitation and early postoperative recovery are currently the model to follow according to the recommended guidelines.In this project the main objective is to evaluate 2 different analgesic strategies both intraoperatively and postoperatively, one based on 1. Epidural analgesia and the other 2. Echoguided serratus intercostal block prior to surgical intervention in eventration or abdominal wall repair interventions. We conducted an observational study with a low level of intervention. Epidural analgesia prior to general anesthesia and serratus-intercostal block prior to general anesthesia) following the criteria applied in each case according to the operating room anesthesiologist until reaching the sample size and fulfilling the criteria of: abdominal eventration repair, over 18 years of age, ASA I-III. Signature of the IC.
Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of nylon (polyamide) epidural catheter versus polyurethane epidural catheter in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery under continuous epidural anesthesia. Background: Continuous epidural anesthesia is the most common anesthetic technique used in orthopedic surgery. However, the use of epidural catheters is associated with complications. The insertion of the catheter may be associated with intravascular or intrathecal placement, nerve root irritation, paresthesia, kinking, hematoma, or breakage during catheter removal. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial; carried out on 60 patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery under continuous epidural anesthesia. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups; group N, using Nylon catheter, and group P, using Polyurethane catheter.
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.
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.
To explore the effect of heating precondition of epidural catheter on the incidence of injury to blood vessel during epidural catheter placement.
