Reports of epidural infusion errors.
In the first case, a post-operative patient was prescribed fentanyl 2 mcg/mL with bupivacaine 0.125% by epidural infusion for pain management. The infusion rate ordered was 10 mL/hour. Ketorolac 30 mg intravenously was also prescribed for this patient. A student nurse ‘piggybacked’ a 50 mL minibag containing ketoralac to the main IV line which did not have an infusion pump. She then mistakenly ...
متن کاملA method to quickly calculate mixtures for epidural infusions.
Epidural solutions of local anesthetics and opioids, such as bupivaCaine and fentanyl, are commonly employed for intraoperative use, labor and delivery, and postoperative analgesia. Clinicians frequently need to assemble mixtures of different concentrations from individual components. Knowing the initial and final concentrations of local anesthetic and opioid, this method allows one to quickly ...
متن کاملComparison of Analgesic Effects of Epidural Infusion of Fentanyl and Fentanyl-bupivacaine in Spine Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial Study
Background & Aim: Although most patients experience severe pain after major spinal fixation surgery, little attention has been paid to control it with a multi-modal approach. The aim of this study is to select appropriate method of pain management after spinal surgery.

متن کاملComparison of patient-controlled epidural analgesia and continuous epidural infusion for labor analgesia.
BACKGROUND In recent years, patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) has been developed as an attractive alternative to continuous epidural infusion (CEI) for labor pain control. PCEA is still not popular for labor pain control in Taiwan and disparities may exist between different ethnic and cultural groups toward the attitude of labor pain control. The aim of this study was to investigate ...
متن کاملA comparative study of sequential epidural bolus technique and continuous epidural infusion.
BACKGROUND In this randomized, double-blind study, the authors compared the effectiveness of a sequential epidural bolus (SEB) technique versus a standard continuous epidural infusion (CEI) technique of local anesthetic delivery. Both techniques used the same hourly dose of local anesthetic. METHODS Sixteen gynecologic patients undergoing abdominal surgery received postoperative epidural anal...
