Serum concentrations of bupivacaine during prolonged continuous paravertebral infusion in young infants.
We have studied the efficacy of prolonged, continuous paravertebral infusion of bupivacaine for the management of post-thoracotomy pain in 22 infants with a median age of 1.5 weeks (range 1 day to 20.4 weeks). Immediately before chest closure, 0.25% bupivacaine 1.25 mg kg-1 was given into an extrapleural paravertebral catheter, inserted under direct vision. Subsequently, 0.125% bupivacaine with...

An irrigation catheter was then...
متن کاملContinuous subarachnoid infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine for analgesia during labour.
We have studied 20 primiparous women requesting pain relief for labour, to determine the feasibility of subarachnoid infusions of bupivacaine for analgesia. A 28-gauge catheter was inserted into the subarachnoid space through a modified 22-gauge Sprotte needle. After a bolus dose of up to 1.5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, a continuous infusion of 0.125% bupivacaine was commenced. If analgesia became...
