Dextrose affects gravitational spread of epidural anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Local anesthetics were suggested to have a potential for neurotoxicity in both clinical reports and laboratory experiments. Growing neurons have been shown to be susceptible to the toxic effects of local anesthetics in culture. These findings have generated the interest in factors that would rescue the neuro...
