Topical Airway Anesthesia for Awake-endoscopic Intubation Using the Spray-as-you-go Technique with High Oxygen Flow
Published on: January 13, 2017
Resumen
La anestesia regional y la analgesia epidural temprana no aumentan el riesgo de daño nervioso o parto por cesárea. Estos métodos de control del dolor en el trabajo de parto son alternativas seguras para las mujeres embarazadas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Anestesiología Anestesiología.
- Obstetrías y Obstetricia.
- Neurología Neurología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La anestesia regional se utiliza con frecuencia para la analgesia del trabajo de parto.
- Existen preocupaciones con respecto a las posibles complicaciones neurológicas y el impacto en el modo de entrega.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la asociación entre las técnicas de anestesia regional y el riesgo de neuropatía.
- Para determinar si la analgesia epidural temprana afecta las tasas de parto por cesárea en comparación con otros métodos.
Principales métodos:
- Estudio de observación que analiza los datos sobre el uso de anestesia regional.
- Comparación de las tasas de parto por cesárea entre los grupos de analgesia epidural temprana y tardía, y con analgesia opioide.
Principales resultados:
- No se encontró un mayor riesgo de neuropatía con las técnicas de anestesia regional.
- La analgesia epidural temprana en el trabajo de parto no elevó el riesgo de parto por cesárea en comparación con la analgesia opioide o la administración epidural tardía.
Conclusiones:
- La anestesia regional no está relacionada con una mayor incidencia de neuropatía.
- La administración temprana de analgesia epidural durante el trabajo de parto es una opción segura con respecto al modo de parto.

01:13Local Anesthetics: Pharmacokinetics
The potency and duration of action of local anesthetics (LAs) are determined by their pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetics describes how LAs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated from the body. When administered to the vascular tissues, LAs are quickly absorbed and enter the systemic circulation, reducing their localized effects. Adding vasoconstrictors such as epinephrine to LAs reduces their absorption into the systemic circulation, making them clinically effective. 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...

01:24General 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...

01:22Stages of General Anesthesia
Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...
01:24Parenteral 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.
