Intermittent epidural bolus technique opens a new era of interest for maintaining labor anlagesia. The study examines programmed intermittent epidural bolus technique on a scheduled basis to provider-administered bolus anlgesia on patient request, after a dural puncture epidural technique.
This study targets patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery. The investigators would like to compare two factors that influence intracranial pressure through optic nerve sheath diameter measurement. First factor is intraperitoneal pressure. Second factor is epidural pressure. The investigators divided the patients into three groups. Group A is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter. Group B is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who don't received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter. Group C is patients with open gastric surgery.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a surgical technique to excise a diseased kidney. It's a minimally invasive technique, so when compared to open surgery, it can mean significantly less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, earlier return to work and daily life activities, a more favourable cosmetic result and outcomes similar to that of open surgery. Recently, advanced laparoscopic surgery has targeted older and high risk patients for general anesthesia; in these patients, regional anesthesia offers several advantages with improved patient satisfaction. Compared with alternative anesthetic techniques, epidural anesthesia may reduce the risks of venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, bleeding complications, pneumonia, respiratory depression and renal failure. The aim of this study is to compare the conventional general anesthetic technique to the regional anesthesia for laparoscopic nephrectomy, in modified lateral decubitus position using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare in patients with chronic back pain two therapeutic interventions: a) the combination of massage and electroacupuncture; and b) the application of epidural analgesia in pain, functioning-incompetence, quality of life and mood.
