Esta patología es la causa más frecuente del síndrome de cirugía fallida de columna, manifestada cl...

Concordance between the loss of resistance technique and ultrasound in measuring the distance from the skin to the epidural space in pediatric patients: Observational study

Rev. colomb. anestesiol; 48 (4), 2020
Abstract Introduction: The use of ultrasound in regional anesthesia has become a standard technique to improve nerve block accuracy and reduce associated complications. The literature reports a good correlation between the distance from the skin to the dura mater or the ligamentum flavum measured on ult...

Incidence of epidural spread after Chayens approach to lumbar plexus block: a retrospective study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 70 (3), 2020
Abstract Background and objectives: The lumbar plexus block (LPB) is a key technique for lower limb surgery. All approaches to the LPB involve a number of complications. We hypothesized that Chayen's approach, which involves a more caudal and more lateral needle entry point than the major techniques des...

Correlation of the epidural space measured intraoperatively and estimated by MRI or US: an observational study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 70 (3), 2020
Abstract Background and objectives: To assess the agreement between the epidural depth measured from the surgical site with the epidural depths estimated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scanning. Methods: Fifty patients of either sex, scheduled for L4‒5 lumbar disc surgery un...

Effects of caudal block in pediatric surgical patients: a randomized clinical trial

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 70 (2), 2020
Abstract Background: Surgery generates a neuroendocrine stress response, resulting in undesirable hemodynamic instability, alterations in metabolic response and malfunctioning of the immune system. Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of caudal blocks in intra- and po...

3D anatomical model for teaching canine lumbosacral epidural anesthesia

Acta cir. bras; 35 (6), 2020
Abstract Purpose To develop a 3D anatomical model for teaching canine epidural anesthesia (3DMEA) and to assess its efficacy for teaching and learning prior to the use of live animals. Methods The creation of 3DMEA was based on 3D optical scanning and 3D printing of canine bone pieces of the fifth to...

Hyaluronic acid in tobacco-exposed rats. Inflammatory reaction, and duration of effect

Acta cir. bras; 34 (2), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the hyaluronic acid (HA) inflammatory reaction, fibroblasts, fibrosis and duration of effect in the dorsal region of tobacco-exposed rats. Methods: Ten Wistar rats were divided into two groups: tobacco-exposed-group (TEG;n=5) and air-control-group (CG;n=5). The TEG animal...
