Levobupivacaine for epidural analgesia in labor: the sparing effect of epidural fentanyl.
Evidence suggests that levobupivacaine has similar pharmacodynamic properties to racemic bupivacaine. We sought to investigate whether this similarity extends to opioid sparing when levobupivacaine is used for epidural analgesia in laboring women by quantifying the effect of fentanyl on the minimum local analgesic concentration (MLAC) of levobupivacaine. One-hundred-six women requesting epidura...
متن کاملComparison between Continuous Epidural Infusion and Intermittent Epidural Bolus of Bupivacaine Fentanyl Combination for Labour Analgesia
Labour analgesia has become almost synonymous with central neuraxial analgesia. Various techniques are in use from single epidural injection, continuous epidural infusion, combined spinal epidural, patient controlled epidural analgesia to programmed intermittent epidural bolus. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages though the purpose remains the same:a painless labour and a healt...
متن کاملEpidural analgesia improves postoperative nitrogen balance.
Postoperative nitrogen balance was monitored in twelve patients undergoing hysterectomy under either epidural analgesia or general anaesthesia. The mean cumulative five-day nitrogen losses were significantly lower after epidural analgesia than after general anaesthesia. Nitrogen sparing presumably results from inhibiting the stress-induced release of catabolic hormones, since epidural analgesia...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF INTRAPARTUM EPIDURAL ANALGESIA ON NULLIPAROUS LABOR
Our purpose was to determine the effect of epidural analgesia on nulliparous labor and delivery. Nonnal term nulliparous women in spontaneous labor were divided into two groups in a quazi-experimental study, 100 in each group. The first group received epidural analgesia and the second had no analgesia at all. In the first group, an epidural catheter was placed in 3-4 cm cervical dilatation ...
متن کاملEpidural and intravenous fentanyl.
To the Editor: The use of local anaesthetic for tonsillectomy is not new. Combined with general anaesthesia, glossopharyngeal nerve block improves operative conditions and provides excellent postoperative analgesia. The glossopharyngeal nerve supplies most of the sensation responsible for pain transmission following tonsillectomy or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. It can be blocked using an intraora...
