Epidural Analgesia Decreases Narcotic Requirements in Low Level Spina Bifida Patients Undergoing Urologic Laparotomy for Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel [PDF]
Purpose Concern of anatomical anomalies and worsening neurologic symptoms has prevented widespread use of epidural catheters in patients with low level spina bifida (LLSB). We hypothesize that thoracic epidural placement in the T9-T10 interspace is safe

Post-Pancreatoduodenectomy Outcomes and Epidural Analgesia: A 5-Year Single Institution Experience [PDF]
Introduction Optimal pain control post-pancreatoduodenectomy is a challenge. Epidural analgesia (EDA) is increasingly utilized despite inherent risks and unclear effects on outcomes.

Epidural anesthesia masking pain from spinal epidural hematoma
Spinal epidural hematoma (SEDH) without pain due to epidural anesthesia is a rare but serious complication. We report the successful treatment of a patient with progressive paraparesis after the development of SEDH during the administration of epidural ...

Comparison of loss of resistance technique between Epidrum® and conventional method for identifying the epidural space [PDF]
BackgroundEpidrum® is a recently developed, air operated, loss of resistance (LOR) device for identifying the epidural space. We investigated the usefulness of Epidrum® by comparing it with the conventional LOR technique for identifying the epidural ...

Randomized controlled trial of prolonged second stage: extending the time limit vs usual guidelines. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for management of the second stage have been proposed since the 1800s and were created largely by expert opinion. Current retrospective data are mixed regarding differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes with a prolonged second ...

Using LOR Syringe Probes as a Method to Reduce Errors in Epidural Analgesia -- a Robotic Simulation Study [PDF]
Epidural analgesia involves injection of anesthetics into the epidural space, using a Touhy needle to proceed through the layers in the epidural region and a "loss of resistance" (LOR) syringe to sense the environment stiffness. The anesthesiologist's case experience is one of the leading causes of accidental dural puncture and failed epidural - the ...
