An intra-operative comparison of lumbar with thoracic epidural sufentanil for thoracotomy.

abstract：:Crude delivery rate is used to calculate requirements for consultant anaesthetic sessions in the UK, but this calculation is arbitrary and ignores differences in case-mix between units. The term 'epidural rate' is commonly used to indicate regional anaesthetic activity but has never been defined. We challenge both the...
