Low-dose intravenous ketamine potentiates epidural analgesia after thoracotomy.
BACKGROUND Ketamine potentiates intravenous or epidural morphine analgesia. The authors hypothesized that very-low-dose ketamine infusion reduces acute and long-term postthoracotomy pain. METHODS Forty-nine patients scheduled to undergo open thoracotomy were randomly assigned to receive one of two anesthesia regimens: continuous epidural infusion of ropivacaine and morphine, along with intrav...
متن کامل[Comparison of intravenous and epidural morphine analgesia after thoracotomy.].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing thoracotomy experience severe postoperative pain. This study aimed at evaluating postoperative analgesia with the association of intravenous and epidural morphine as compared to a single route. METHODS Participated in this study 20 patients of both genders, physical status ASA I, II or III, scheduled for thoracotomy. Patients were premedicated wit...
متن کاملEpidural analgesia is not superior to systemic postoperative analgesia with regard to preventing chronic or neuropathic pain after thoracotomy
BACKGROUND To assess prospectively the incidence of chronic and neuropathic pain in patients undergoing anteroaxillary thoracotomy with postoperative epidural analgesia or controlled-release oxycodone pain regimen. METHODS 77 patients who underwent anteroaxillary thoracotomy were enrolled in our observational study. 40 patients received postoperatively a standardized oral analgesic protocol w...
متن کاملEpidural ketamine for postoperative analgesia.
·T WO factors have increased interest in ketamine for postoperative analgesia. The first was the discovery of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and its role in central pain processing and spinal cord neural plasticity.1 Ketamine is one of two clinically useful NMDA receptor antagonists available (the other is dextromethorphan). Ketarnine binds non-competitively to the PCI, (phencyclidine...
