Epidural catheter placement in neonates: sonoanatomy and feasibility of ultrasonographic guidance in term and preterm neonates.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Practitioners mix faster-onset, intermediate-duration local anesthetics (LAs) with slower-onset, long-duration LAs to get fast peripheral nerve block (PNB) onset and long duration. We hypothesized that 1.5% mepivacaine (with epinephrine) (mepivacaine) or 1.5% mepivacaine (with epinephrine) mix...

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Many patients experience moderate to severe postoperative pain. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) exerts analgesia by inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Ketamine, another N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, reduces postoperative opioid consumption and pain. A similar effect of N₂O is plausi...
