Location, location, location: Continuous peripheral nerve blocks and stimulating catheters.
C ontinuous peripheral nerve blocks offer the potential benefits of extended site-specific postoperative analgesia, few side effects, improved patient satisfaction , and accelerated functional recovery after extremity surgery. 1 Continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide superior analgesia compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia and a lower incidence of side effects compared with...
متن کاملContrast Media for Liver MRI
Overview: In this lecture, I will provide an overview of the different available gadolinium-based contrast agents, with specific attention on dynamic contrast enhanced imaging and delayed hepatobiliary phase imaging. The dual blood supply of the liver will be reviewed and its importance on understanding the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. The behavior of the dual blood su...
متن کاملExtravasation of Contrast Media
Extravasated iodinated contrast media are toxic to the surrounding tissues, particularly to the skin, producing an acute local inflammatory response that sometimes peaks in 24 to 48 hours. The acute tissue injury resulting from extravasation of iodinated contrast media is possibly related primarily to the hyperosmolality of the extravasated fluid. Despite this, the vast majority of patients in ...
متن کاملContrast Media: Are There Differences in Nephrotoxicity among Contrast Media?
Iodinated contrast agents are usually classified based upon their osmolality--high, low, and isosmolar. Iodinated contrast agents are also nephrotoxic in some but not all patients resulting in loss of glomerular filtration rate. Over the past 30 years, nephrotoxicity has been linked to osmolality although the precise mechanism underlying such a link has been elusive. Improvements in our underst...
متن کاملInfluence of patient position on withdrawal forces during removal of lumbar extradural catheters.
We have investigated the force required to remove lumbar extradural catheters from 88 parturients to determine the effects of patient positioning at removal, relative to the position at insertion. Parturients were allocated randomly to one of four groups: LS (lateral insertion, sitting withdrawal), LL (lateral insertion, flexed lateral withdrawal), SL (sitting insertion, lateral withdrawal) or ...
