Functional and Morphological Assessment of Diaphragm Innervation by Phrenic Motor Neurons
Published on: May 25, 2015
Abstract:
Buprenorphine was given intravenously to produce analgesia in the immediate postoperative period, the dose being titrated against the response of each patient in order to obtain complete freedom from pain. In 50 patients following lower segment Caesarean section under general anaesthesia, buprenorphine in the dose range 0.4-7.0 mg was found to be a potent, long lasting and safe analgesic. Serial blood gas estimations performed on ten of the patients confirmed the clinically observed lack of respiratory depression.

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...
