Las percepciones de dolor de los pacientes con inyecciones espinales, intramusculares y venosas
Lancet (London, England)
|April 1, 2000
Resumen
Los pacientes esperaban que las inyecciones espinales fueran más dolorosas, pero las encontraron menos dolorosas. Se deben evitar las inyecciones intramusculares, y se recomienda la anestesia local para las punciones lumbares y la canulación intravenosa.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Anestesiología Anestesiología.
- Manejo del dolor Manejo del dolor.
- La neurocirugía es la neurocirugía.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las expectativas del paciente con respecto al dolor de la inyección pueden influir en los niveles de dolor percibidos.
- Comprender la percepción comparativa del dolor a través de diferentes rutas de inyección es crucial para la comodidad y la adherencia del paciente.
- Estudios anteriores no han comparado definitivamente la percepción del dolor de las inyecciones espinales, intramusculares e intravenosas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para comparar los niveles de dolor percibidos por el paciente a través de las rutas de inyección espinal, intramuscular e intravenosa.
- Evaluar la eficacia de la anestesia local para procedimientos que involucran acceso espinal e intravenoso.
- Informar a la práctica clínica con respecto a las estrategias de manejo del dolor para los procedimientos de inyección comunes.
Principales métodos:
- Un estudio prospectivo en el que participaron 46 pacientes sometidos a inyecciones espinales, intramusculares o intravenosas.
- Los pacientes calificaron su dolor percibido en una escala estandarizada después del procedimiento.
- Datos recopilados sobre las expectativas de los pacientes frente a las experiencias reales de dolor.
Principales resultados:
- Contrariamente a las expectativas, las inyecciones espinales fueron percibidas como significativamente menos dolorosas que las inyecciones intramusculares e intravenosas.
- Las inyecciones intramusculares se asociaron con los niveles más altos de dolor percibido.
- Los pacientes que recibieron anestesia local para las punciones lumbares y la canulación intravenosa informaron una reducción del dolor procedimental.
Conclusiones:
- Las expectativas del paciente sobre la intensidad del dolor no siempre se alinean con las experiencias sensoriales reales.
- Las inyecciones espinales son una alternativa viable y menos dolorosa en comparación con las rutas intramuscular e intravenosa.
- La aplicación de anestesia local para las punciones lumbares y la canulación intravenosa puede mejorar significativamente la comodidad del paciente y reducir la ansiedad.

01:29Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

01:24Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...
01:11Local 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...
01:29Local 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...

01:16Local 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.

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
