Skin pulse wave monitoring during lumbar epidural and spinal anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The vitalHEAT vH(2) (Dynatherm Medical, Inc., Fremont, California) system transfers heat through a single extremity using a combination of conductive heat (circulating warm water within soft fluid pads) with mild vacuum, which improves both vasodilation and contact between the heating element and the skin su...
