Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Evidence-Based Medicine
  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Background:

  • The Cochrane Library (CL) is a vital resource for systematic reviews and evidence-based health information.
  • Identifying comprehensive acupuncture literature within CL is crucial for researchers and clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify and categorize acupuncture-related literature across six key databases within the Cochrane Library.
  • To assess the scope and quality of available acupuncture evidence for research and clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • A computer-based retrieval strategy was employed to search six Cochrane Library databases: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CCRCT), Cochrane Methodology Register Database (CMRD), Health Technology Assessment Database (HTAD), and NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED).
  • Literature was identified and categorized based on its content, review type, and focus (e.g., effectiveness, methodology, economic evaluation).

Main Results:

  • A total of 72, 121, 4218, 43, 25, and 18 literatures were identified in CDSR, DARE, CCRCT, CMRD, HTAD, and NHS EED, respectively.
  • CDSR yielded 12 verified effectiveness reviews, 29 indeterminate efficacy reviews, and 31 protocols. DARE provided broader disease coverage and modality comparisons.
  • CCRCT contained a substantial number of randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials. CMRD focused on research methodology, while HTAD and NHS EED concentrated on acupuncture analgesia.

Conclusions:

  • The six Cochrane Library databases offer abundant, well-classified, and high-quality evidence resources for acupuncture research.
  • The identified literature supports diverse research areas, including effectiveness, methodology, and economic evaluations of acupuncture.
  • These findings underscore the value of CL as a primary source for comprehensive acupuncture evidence synthesis.
