Paravertebral and lumbar sympathetic blocks offer a reliable anesthesia technique for percutaneous radiologic procedures. This approach minimizes patient discomfort during renal pelvis and ureter manipulation, even in remote locations.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Radiology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Anesthesia for radiologic procedures often occurs outside the operating room, limiting access to immediate support.
  • Anesthesiologists require reliable techniques with minimal physiological disruption for patient safety in remote settings.

Observation:

  • This study reports the use of paravertebral and lumbar sympathetic blocks for anesthesia during radiologic procedures.
  • The technique was applied to target the renal pelvis and ureter.

Findings:

  • Paravertebral and lumbar sympathetic block provided effective anesthesia for percutaneous radiologic procedures.
  • The anesthetic technique allowed for manipulation and dilation of the renal pelvis and ureter with minimal patient discomfort.

Implications:

  • This regional anesthesia approach can enhance patient comfort and safety during interventional radiology.
  • It offers a viable alternative for anesthesia in settings where operating room support is not readily available.
