Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

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...

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

Summary

Perioperative intra-articular steroid injections after elbow arthroscopy did not increase infection risk. This study found no significant infections in patients receiving corticosteroids post-procedure.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Infectious Disease Prevention

Background:

Elbow arthroscopy is a common orthopedic procedure.
The use of perioperative corticosteroid injections aims to reduce inflammation but raises concerns about infection risk.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the incidence of infection following intra-articular corticosteroid injections administered during elbow arthroscopy.
To determine if these injections increase the risk of post-operative infection.

Main Methods:

Prospective study including 100 patients undergoing 108 elbow arthroscopies from May 2019.
All patients received intravenous antibiotics preoperatively and corticosteroid injections post-procedure.
Exclusion criteria included ligamentous repair and patients under 18 years old; follow-up was 3 months.

Published on: August 2, 2024

Main Results:

A total of 108 elbow arthroscopies were performed on 100 patients.
One minor complication (seroma) occurred, resolving spontaneously without antibiotics.
No major complications or infections directly related to the corticosteroid injection were observed.

Conclusions:

Perioperative intra-articular corticosteroid injections following elbow arthroscopy do not appear to elevate the risk of infection.
The findings suggest that this injection method is safe in the context of elbow arthroscopy for the studied patient group.
