Patient-controlled epidural analgesia after thoracotomy: a comparison of meperidine with and without bupivacaine.

abstract：:We investigated the usefulness of peripheral flow index (PFI) measurement using a standard pulse oximetry digit probe for early prediction of successful regional blocks. Sixty-six patients scheduled for limb surgery underwent either axillary or sciatic block using a nerve stimulator technique with mepivacaine 1.5%. PF...
