Abstract

Epidural administration is used by physicians and nurse anesthetists to administer local anesthetic agents, analgesics, and diagnostic medicines such as radiocontrast agents, glucocorticoids and other medicines. The epidural administration of medication has made some aspects of clinical practice much more accessible. This book focuses on various aspects of epidural administration, from methods to clinical uses, and its diverse applications. The book will be a valuable asset for anaesthesiologists, paediatricians, radiologists, internists, and intensivists in active clinical practice, including medical students and practitioners undergoing residency training.

Abstract

A complete hands-on guide to today's spinal and epidural anesthesia practice Keeping up with the growing application of spinal and epidural anesthesia calls for a highly practical text-one that gives you a solid footing in this increasingly dynamic specialty. 'Spinal and Epidural Anesthesia' is just such a resource. Concise and authoritative, it puts you in touch with the latest developments in neuraxial anesthesia, encompassing physiology, pharmacology, techniques, indications, complications, and patient safety-related issues. 'Spinal and Epidural Anesthesia' begins with an instructive look at spinal cord and verterbral canal anatomy, as well as key techniques of neuraxial analgesia. It then goes on to cover the full spectrum of current neuraxial anesthesia procedures-everything from spinal anesthesia to integrated epidural-general anesthesia for major orthopedic, pediatric, and ambulatory surgery. Features, Comprehensive, completely up-to-date coverage of spinal and epidural anesthesia for all surgical subspecialties, supported by numerous tables, lists, and other summary features, Patient/medication safety sidebars in each chapter that highlight key points, An essential chapter on the pharmacology of drugs used for spinal/epidural analgesia/anesthesia, A chapter detailing the physiologic effects of neuraxial analgesia, An emphasis on the contraindications, side effects, and complications associated with neuraxial analgesia, Informative review of equipment for spinal, epidural, caudal, and combined spinal-epidural procedures

Abstract

Epidural analgesia is a form of pain relief administered through the space surrounding the dural sheath either by direct injection or via catheter. The agent, when administered, can cause both a loss of sensation (anesthesia) and a loss of pain (analgesia), by reversibly interrupting the transmission of signals through nerves in or near the spinal cord. This form of pain relief has been found useful in many clinical situations. This book intends to provide an in-depth review of the current knowledge on epidural analgesia. The use of this form of analgesia is explored by contributors from different perspectives, including labor and delivery, postoperative analgesia in both pediatric and geriatric patients, and its role during anesthesia and surgery. In order to provide a balanced medical view this book was edited by an obstetric anesthesiologist.

Abstract

Endoscopy of the spinal canal – epiduroscopy (EDS) – has proven to be a safe, efficient and future-oriented interventional endoscopic procedure for everyday clinical use in diagnosing and managing pain syndromes. Epiduroscopy can be used in the sacral, lumbar, thoracic and even cervical regions of the spine to identify pathological structures, carry out tissue biopsies and perform epidural pain provocation tests to assess the pain relevance of visualized anomalies, making it an excellent diagnostic tool. Spinal endoscopy allows targeted epidural analgesic pharmacologic therapy for affected nerve roots or other painful regions in the epidural space. Treatment options provided by epiduroscopy include laser-assisted adhesiolysis or resection of pain-generating fibrosis, catheter placement, as well as support with other invasive procedures for pain relief. Professional EDS management enhances a multimodal philosophy and opens up new treatment strategies for patients. If used early on, it can control pain well before chronicity sets in.

Abstract

This book offers an in-depth examination of labor pain and analgesia with the aim of promoting natural childbirth without pain. All aspects of the subject are covered, including the latest techniques of delivering labor analgesia. Importantly, emphasis is placed on a holistic approach, detailed attention being paid to the humanization of childbirth and behavioral aspects in addition to evidence-based medicine. Potential future developments are also addressed, with discussion of opportunities that have yet to be realized. In order to ensure that the text is easily readable for trainees as well as established practitioners, chapters have been restricted to a manageable length and information is presented clearly and succinctly. Step-by-step tutorials and boxes highlighting practical points are used to clarify technical aspects. The authors include both well-established experts and young emerging professionals from various European countries, ensuring an intercultural perspective.

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Maîtriser avec compétence les principales techniques d injection et d infiltration dans la prise en charge de la douleur est devenu essentiel dans la pratique et l apprentissage de l anesthésie moderne. Ce guide, abondamment illustré, décrit des techniques d injection de façon très claire. Il constitue une aide idéale pour les nouveaux venus dans le domaine de la prise en charge de la douleur ou les étudiants en anesthésiologie pour la réalisation des blocs nerveux de base. Il présente des options thérapeutiques fiables et bien établies, que l on pourra proposer à des patients souffrant de douleurs sévères. Cet atlas décrit de nombreux outils anesthésiques, ainsi que les infiltrations musculaires et articulaires communes. Il permet de déterminer avec précision comment procéder, pour une efficacité optimale avec des risques minimes. Des instructions pas à pas, avec des textes concis et des illustrations ainsi que des photographies en couleurs permettent de localiser les structures anatomiques et de positionner précisément les aiguilles, pour 29 techniques analgésiques, et d utiliser l échographie. Il repose sur des recommandations d experts pour ce qui concerne les anesthésiques locaux, les corticoïdes et les agents neurolytiques."

Abstract

This book examines the future of birthing practices, particularly by focusing on epidural analgesia in childbirth. It describes historical and cultural trajectories that have shaped the way in which birth is understood in Western, developed nations. In setting out the nature of epidural history, knowledge and practice, the book delves into related birth practices within the hospital setting. By critically examining these practices, which are embedded in a scientific discourse that rationalises and relies upon technology use, the authors argue that epidural analgesia has been positioned as a safe technology in contemporary maternity culture, despite it carrying particular risks. In examining alternative research the book proposes that increasing epidural rates are not only due to greater pain relief requirements or access but are influenced by technocratic values and a fragmented maternity system. The authors outline the way in which this epidural discourse influences how information is presented to women and how this affects their choices around the use of pain relief in labour.
