    Electrocardiographic monitoring was undertaken in thirteen women and seven men before, during, and after epidural anaesthesia with bupivacaine 0.75%. The average surveying time lasted 18:28 h. Bupivacaine 0.75% was given in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg body weight (n = 8) and 2 mg/kg body weight (n = 12). Eleven patients (8 female/3 male) = 55% showed VES of category I of the LOWN-classification. Three subjects (3 female) suffered VES before and after injection of bupivacaine 0.75%. Five patients (3 female/2 male) showed VES before and three (2 female/1 male) only after epidural blockade. Serious arrhythmias or other signs of toxic actions on the myocardium were not registered.

    Pulse rhythm01:30

    Pulse rhythm

    Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
    Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

    Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

    Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

    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...

    Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

    Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
    One of the advantages of...

    General Anesthesia: Overview

    Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
    General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

    Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

    Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
