Kyphoscoliosis is a progressive disease that worsens with age. While applying anesthesia, kyphosis and/or scoliosis can lead to difficulty in both during endotracheal intubation and also performing regional interventional technics. In addition to aging and the direct effects of deformity such as neurological deficities and immobility; deterioration in cardiopulmonary functions can also develop ...

Epidural anesthesia was performed for a cesarean section in a patient with vasovagal syncope. A 26-year-old woman at 41 weeks of gestation and with a known history of vasovagal syncope was scheduled to undergo an emergency cesarean section. She received epidural anesthesia for the cesarean delivery and showed signs and symptoms of vasovagal syncope, which were treated successfully with fluids a...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of general anesthesia combined with epidural preemptive analgesia with general anesthesia on stress reaction in the retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. METHODS Forty patients with adrenal tumors undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgeries were randomly assigned into general anesthesia combined with epidural preemptive analgesia group (GE) and general a...

Objective: This study was aimed to explore effects of different anesthesia and analgesia methods on postoperative T lymphocyteinterleukin and hormone level of patients with esophageal cancer operation. Methods: From December 2015 to December 2016, a total of 134 patients with esophageal cancer were selected from our hospital as the study objects. All patients were divided into control group (n=...

Materials and methods: Sixty patients with risk of CAD scheduled to undergo lower extremity surgery were divided into 3 groups. Group G was administered general anesthesia followed by intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (I.V PCA) (n = 20). Group L was administered lumbar epidural anesthesia followed by lumbar epidural analgesia (n = 20). Group T was administered general anesthesia combined...

Investigation was carried out with the aim to determine reasonability of using epidural-sacral anesthesia during cesarean section and also to assess the effectiveness of such method. 19 women with supposed difficulties of traditional methods of anesthesia have been included in the investigation. The implementation method of epidural-sacral anesthesia and also subsequent monitoring of patients’ ...

Abstract Background Neuraxial anesthesia is widely used for labor analgesia in the USA, such as epidural, combined spinal–epidural, and dural puncture epidural (DPE). Post-dural headache (PDPH) a well-known complication of neuraxial anesthesia. However, rare yet more serious subdural hematomas. Untreated hematomas can result permanent disability death, hence need to better understand their deve...

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...
