Thoracic 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...
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 and Paravertebral Analgesia
Thoracotomies are among the most painful of surgical incisions. Postoperatively, the movement of the chest with each breath increases the pain, and patients often “splint” to the point of hypercapnea or hypoxia. Substantial analgesia is required to avoid postoperative respiratory complications, but heavy opioid use blunts the respiratory drive and may itself be associated with postoperative com...
متن کاملThoracic Epidural Hematoma Complicating Vertebroplasty
BACKGROUND Percutaneous vertebroplasty procedures are commonly used to treat vertebral fractures. These techniques may be associated with major complications. CASE REPORT We present here a case of a 64-year-old female patient with T9 and T10 acute osteoporotic fractures, treated previously with vertebroplasty for four levels of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The patient was treated by T9-T10...
