Low-dose clonidine infusion during labour.
In this study, we have compared two different doses of clonidine (bolus of 25 micrograms and infusion of 19 micrograms h-1; bolus of 50 micrograms and infusion of 37 micrograms h-1, both added to 0.03% bupivacaine) with a control group of 0.03% bupivacaine alone. The study was performed in a randomized, double-blind manner, and a total of 45 patients were studied. Both clonidine regimens result...
متن کاملThe efficacy and safety of low dose epidural butorphanol on postoperative analgesia following cesarean delivery.
Butorphanol is considered an effective and safe analgesic after cesarean delivery but is associated with profound dose-dependent sedation. Somnolence may cause hindrance in early mother-baby interaction. This study was designed to assess the analgesic efficacy and to monitor side-effects of low doses (0.5 mg and 0.75 mg) of epidural butorphanol with bupivacaine compared to bupivacaine alone in ...
متن کاملBlood pressure response to chronic low-dose intrarenal noradrenaline infusion in conscious rats.
Sodium chloride solution (0.9%) or noradrenaline in doses of 4, 12 and 36 micrograms h-1 kg-1 was infused for five consecutive days, either intrarenally (by a new technique) or intravenously into rats with one kidney removed. Intrarenal infusion of noradrenaline caused hypertension at doses which did not do so when infused intravenously. Intrarenal compared with intravenous infusion of noradren...
متن کاملChallenging the pressure sore paradigm.
This study determines the effectiveness of a new low-unit-cost support system in patients at very high risk of developing pressure sores. In a prospective randomised controlled trial, a low-pressure inflatable mattress and cushion system (Repose) was compared to a dynamic support mattress (Nimbus II) used in conjunction with an alternating-pressure cushion (Alpha TranCell) in 80 patients with f...
متن کاملReports 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 ...
