Ergot-induced vasospasm of the lower extremities treated with epidural anaesthesia
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
No reliable treatment to reverse severe ergot-induced vasopasm is available. A case of ergotamine-induced vasospasm of the lower extremities is presented. A combined treatment of vasodilators, infusion of low molecular dextran and high epidural anaesthesia apparently prevented extremity gangrene from occurring.
