Case Report: Pneumocephalus after labor epidural anesthesia
Lumbar epidural anesthesia is commonly used for labor analgesia. The 'loss-of- resistance' to air technique (LORA) is generally employed for recognition of the epidural space. One of the rare complications of this technique is pneumocephalus (PC). Here we describe the case of a parturient who developed a frontal headache when locating the epidural space using LORA. On the second day after epidu...
متن کاملDural puncture epidural analgesia is not superior to continuous labor epidural analgesia.
BACKGROUND Some anesthesiologists consider combined spinal epidural (CSE) analgesia as superior alternative to continuous labor epidural (CLE) analgesia. However, during CSE, even small doses of intrathecally administered local anesthetics with opioids induce almost instant analgesia that precludes the testing of epidural catheters as well as early appreciation of failed epidural catheters. To ...
متن کاملPneumocephalus Following Unidentified Dural Puncture: A Case Report with an Unusual Neurological Presentation.
Pneumocephalus is a rare consequence of epidural anesthesia, which may occur following inadvertent or unidentified dural puncture when the loss of resistance to air technique is applied to identify the epidural space. Headache is the most common symptom presented in this condition, usually with sudden onset. This case report describes an unusual presentation of diffuse pneumocephalus after an u...
متن کاملA prospective controlled study of continuous spinal analgesia versus repeat epidural analgesia after accidental dural puncture in labour.
BACKGROUND After accidental dural puncture in labour it is suggested that inserting an intrathecal catheter and converting to spinal analgesia reduces postdural puncture headache and epidural blood patch rates. This treatment has never been tested in a controlled manner. METHODS Thirty-four hospitals were randomised to one of two protocols for managing accidental dural puncture during attempt...
متن کاملEpidural abscess after patient-controlled epidural analgesia. Case report.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidural analgesia is often used to control postoperative pain or to manage chronic pain in oncologic patients. However, it is not free from complications. This case reports a young healthy female patient submitted to epidural analgesia in patient-controlled infusion pump, which developed epidural abscess requiring surgical decompression. CASE REPORT Female patient, ...
