Early intralipid therapy may have prevented bupivacaine-associated cardiac arrest.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Central sensitization is often seen in chronic pain. A relevant and potent mechanism of central sensitization is the central integration of nociceptive impulses. Temporal summation in humans and the wind-up process in animals share common features of central integration. This preclinical and c...
