Adjuvants in Pediatric Regional Anesthesia

Pain Management, 2012
SUMMARY Local anesthetics have a limited duration of action. Adjuvants are used to prolong the duration of action and to augment analgesia allowing lower concentrations of local anesthetic to be used. Adjuvants have been used more extensively with neuraxial blocks, particularly caudal epidural blocks, but more recently to supplement peripheral nerve ...

Local Anesthetis and Adjuvants in Pediatric Regional Anesthesia

Current Drug Targets, 2012
The pediatric loco-regional techniques are considered very safe and effective, first of all because they target the therapy directly to the site of surgery, decreasing the risks of intravenous analgesia. The quality of local anesthesia is influenced by structural and biophysical characteristics of local anesthetics drug, dose, site of injection ...

[Adjuvants in modern anesthesia - lidocaine].

Anasthesiologie, Intensivmedizin, Notfallmedizin, Schmerztherapie : AINS, 2016
Local anesthetics (LA) are well known for their antinociceptive and antiarrhythmic properties, but exert alternative effects, i.e. anti-inflammatory activity, as well. These immunomodulatory properties might contribute to the beneficial effects observed in the clinical setting, when intravenous lidocaine is given perioperatively. Systemic LA were shown

Comparison of Adenosine and Remifentanil Infusions as Adjuvants to Desflurane Anesthesia 

Anesthesiology, 1999
Background Because adenosine has been alleged to produce both anesthetic and analgesic sparing effects, a randomized, double-blinded study was designed to compare the perioperative effects of adenosine and remifentanil when administered as intravenous adjuvants during general anesthesia for major gynecologic procedures.

Adjuvant hydrodistension under epidural anesthesia for interstitial cystitis

International Journal of Urology, 2003
ABSTRACTBackground: Hydrodistension is the first choice of treatment for interstitial cystitis because it allows for diagnosis, bladder biopsy and treatment. However, the method and efficacy of hydrodistension are variable. We performed adjuvant hydrodistension and examined the efficacy and factors that influence prognosis.Methods: Fifty‐two patients ...

Intrathecal dexamethasone as an adjuvant for spinal anesthesia: a systematic review

Minerva Anestesiologica
Spinal anesthesia is a common anesthetic technique for lower limb and abdominal surgery. Despite its efficacy, its use is limited because of its duration and potential severe side effects, especially in high-risk patients undergoing major surgery. Adjuvants such as dexamethasone offer the potential to prolong the anesthetic effect and reduce the need ...
