Abstract:
:Nerve stimulation is considered by many to be the current 'gold standard' for locating peripheral nerves. Thirteen nerve stimulators were subjected to a battery of tests performed by two independent observers under standardised conditions using a digital oscilloscope, a calibrated resistance and a novel scoring system. Individual scores were assigned for the signal waveform, current intensity, impulse duration, maximum load output and functionality of each nerve stimulator; the maximum score achievable was 20. A score of > or = 15/20 was achieved by six nerve stimulators: Stimuplex HNS 12 (B Braun); MultiStim Vario (Pajunk); Plexival (Medival, Vygon); MultiStim Sensor (Pajunk); Plexygon (Aryon, Vygon); Stimuplex HNS 11 (B Braun). Seven nerve stimulators scored < 15/20. Anaesthetists should be aware of the limitations of the nerve stimulator being used. Standardisation of features is desirable when manufacturing nerve stimulators.

ANAESTHESIA文献大全abstract::Epidural injections of morphine (2.5 or 4 mg) were given to 25 patients in labour. Forty-eight per cent had good relief of pain lasting from 3 1/4 to 11 hours (average 5 1/4 hours).
