Journal ArticleDOI
A dose-response study of bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia.
Sheskey Mc,Angelo G. Rocco,Bizzarri-Schmid M,Deborah M. Francis,Edstrom H,Benjamin G. Covino +5 more
TL;DR: In several patients with sensory block involving cervical dermatomes, there was no significant hypotension or bradycardia, which suggests that cardiac output and venous return were maintained, perhaps because of the use of lithotomy position.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical model for pain in patient-controlled analgesia and conventional intramuscular opioid regimens.
TL;DR: The results suggest that certain patients may not envision complete postoperative analgesia as being possible and self-administration of opioids to “moderate” levels of pain relief with use of PCA, not to complete analgesia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential spread of blockade of touch, cold, and pinprick during spinal anesthesia.
TL;DR: It is proposed that loss of touch sensation was used to assess whether anesthesia is adequate to avoid tourniquet pain, and if there is loss oftouch sensation above the LZ dermatome, it is unlikely that tourniqueet pain will occur.
Intrapleural Administration of Local Anesthetics for Pain Relief in Patients with Multiple Rib Fractures: Preliminary Report
TL;DR: Intrapleural administration of bupivacaine appears to be an effective means of providing pain relief for patients with multiple rib iractures, and further studies appear warranted to determine the optimal use of this new technique in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidural steroids, epidural morphine and epidural steroids combined with morphine in the treatment of post-laminectomy syndrome.
TL;DR: The use of morphine alone or combined with slow release triamcinolone does not appear to be appropriate for the treatment of the post‐laminectomy pain syndrome.
