Change in pulse transit time in the lower extremity after lumbar sympathetic ganglion block: an early indicator of successful block
Objective To investigate the change in pulse transit time (PTT)-time between the electrocardiographic R wave and the highest point of the corresponding plethysmographic wave-after lumbar sympathetic ganglion block (LSGB) and evaluate PTT as an indicator of successful LSGB. Methods Sixteen cases of sympathetically mediated lower extremity neuropathic pain treated with LSGB were studied. Correlat...
متن کاملThe prolongation of pulse transit time after a stellate ganglion block: An objective indicator of a successful block
BACKGROUND An objective marker of successful stellate ganglion block (SGB) does not exist. Horner syndrome, which is currently used to determine the effect of SGB, is sometimes ambiguous. OBJECTIVE To investigate the change in pulse transit time (PTT) after SGB, and to evaluate the utility of PTT as an objective measure of successful SGB. METHODS Eight patients (34 to 62 years of age) under...
متن کاملOnset of spontaneous lower extremity pain after lumbar sympathetic block.
Lumbar sympathetic nerve blocks (LSBs) can be performed to determine whether or not a patient’s pain is sympathetically mediated. They can be used as prognostic injections to determine the response to future more permanent sympathectomy or as therapeutic interventions on their own. Common presentations of sympathetically mediated pain include vascular insufficiency and peripheral nerve injuries...
متن کاملRetention of finger blood flow against postural change as an indicator of successful sympathetic block in the upper limb
BACKGROUND Sympathetic block in the upper limb has diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic utility for disorders in the upper extremity that are associated with sympathetic disturbances. Increased skin temperature and decreased sweating are used to identify the adequacy of sympathetic block in the upper limb after stellate ganglion block (SGB). Baroreflexes elicited by postural change induce a r...
متن کاملLumbar Sympathetic Block for resistant to treatment causalgia in patient with opioid dependence.
Abstract Background & Aim: Lumbar sympathetic block is a commonly used technique for sympathetically mediated pain in lower extrimity. Causalgia (CRPS type 2 ) is also accepted to be associated with sympathetic system activation. Treatment of this condition is difficult, especially when the patient has opioid dependency. there has not been any report regarding lower-extremity lumbar sympathet...
