Abstract:
We report anesthetic management for nephrectomy in an infant with aortic aneurysm. A 2-year-old girl with renovascular hypertension and abdominal aortic aneurysm, who had shown repeated episodes of heart failure, was scheduled for nephrectomy. Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane in nitrous oxide (70%) and oxygen. During the surgery, anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (1.5%) in nitrous oxide (50%) and oxygen, supplemented with intermittent epidural block. The blood pressure did not show marked changes during the surgery. There was no perioperative cardiovascular complication.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
