Radiological analysis of the position of epidural catheters in the thoracic epidural space
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Thoracic epidural catheterization is used widely for anesthesia and postoperative pain control in thoracic and abdominal surgery. Generally, an epidural catheter is inserted only 4–5 cm into the epidural space, as excessive catheter insertion causes complications like vascular injury and paresthesias [1]. Nevertheless, a catheter can often be ins...
متن کاملTwo Phase Heat Transfer Characteristics in a Vertical Small Diameter Tube at Sub Atmospheric Pressure
Two-phase heat transfer is experimentally examined through vertical small diameter tubes, D =1.45 and 2.8 mm using water under a pressure of 50 to 81 kPa and a natural circulation condition. The pool boiling correlation by Stephan-Abdelsalam and the thermosyphon boiling correlation by Imura, et al. predict the measured experimental data in the 2.8 mm tube with an error of -30%. A large heat tra...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Preemptive Thoracic Epidural Analgesia in Thoracic Surgery
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of preemptive thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) comparing conventional postoperative epidural analgesia on thoracotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-four patients were randomized in to two groups (preemptive: Group P, control: Group C). Epidural catheter was inserted in all patients preoperatively. In Group P, epidural analges...
متن کاملThoracic epidural anesthesia and epidural hematoma.
This report involves a 74-year-old-male who developed a thoracic epidural hematoma with paraparesis on the second postoperative day in conjunction with thoracic epidural anesthesia established before surgery for acute abdominal aortic dissection. The finding indicates that laminectomy can be performed successfully as late as three days after diagnosis of the hematoma, with a complete restitutio...
متن کاملThoracic epidural analgesia
We read with great interest the editorial by Kamming and Davies [1] regarding the choice of thoracic epidural anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. While the authors provided an interesting analysis, we believe their conclusion regarding the 50% chance of this technique’s failure warrants further comment. Kamming and Davies reported that in two large studies [2,3] ‘epidurals have failed to achieve ad...
