Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

777
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...

Gas Chromatography: Sample Injection Systems01:08

Gas Chromatography: Sample Injection Systems

1.6K
In gas chromatography, the sample is introduced as a vapor plug into the carrier gas stream for high efficiency and resolution. A microsyringe injects the sample solution into a heated sample port, vaporizing it and mixing it with the carrier gas. This process is important to ensure the sample is properly prepared for analysis. Thermally sensitive samples can be injected directly into the column and volatilized by slowly increasing the column temperature.
Two primary injection methods are used...

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Drug Elimination for IV Bolus Injection

429
In pharmacokinetics, the elimination rate of a drug following a capacity-limited model is primarily controlled by two parameters: Vmax and KM. These parameters are crucial in how the drug behaves inside the body after administration.
Following the administration of a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection, we can determine the concentration of the drug in the plasma at any given time. This calculation is achieved using a specific equation that integrates the values of Vmax and KM.
We can also...

Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Repetitive IV Injections01:21

Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Repetitive IV Injections

291
Calculating drug dosage and accumulation in multiple-dose regimens is crucial for achieving therapeutic efficacy while avoiding toxicity. This involves determining the plasma drug concentrations over time to optimize dosing schedules. The principle of superposition is fundamental in this process, allowing for the prediction of drug concentration in plasma following multiple doses based on single-dose data.The principle of superposition asserts that the plasma concentration-time curves from...

Summary

Persistent hiccups are a rare but serious complication following cervical epidural steroid injections for chronic pain. Further research is needed to understand the causes and frequency of this side effect.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Neurology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Cervical epidural steroid injections are used for chronic pain management.
  • Hiccups are a rare but documented complication of epidural injections.
  • Existing literature includes limited case reports and physiological studies.

Observation:

  • A case report details persistent hiccups in a 60-year-old male post-cervical epidural steroid injection.
  • The patient experienced chronic pain due to C3-C7 disc protrusion.
  • The hiccups occurred as an adverse effect of the cervical epidural analgesia.

Findings:

  • Persistent hiccups represent a significant complication after epidural injections.
  • The precise mechanism causing hiccups post-epidural injection remains unknown.
  • The incidence rate and etiological factors require further investigation.

Implications:

  • Anesthesiologists should be aware of hiccups as a potential complication of cervical epidural analgesia.
  • This case highlights the need for better reporting and understanding of post-epidural hiccups.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the etiology and incidence of hiccups following epidural procedures.
