A randomized comparison of low doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to investigate the block characteristics of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine 7, 8, or 9 mg administered during combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery and to elucidate the dose that produces ... Read more...

The median effective dose of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine after intrathecal injection in lower limb surgery.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Intrathecal anesthesia is commonly used for lower limb surgery. Bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine have all been used as intrathecal drugs, but their relative potency in this context has not been fully determined. In this ... Read more...

[Obstetric anesthesia training in the USA, experience of the Cleveland Clinic; Cleveland, Ohio]

30 Aug 2009 In Japan, the re-organization of obstetrical medical system is needed and this project is ongoing under Japanese government initiative. However the ratio of using neuraxial analgesia (NA) during labor in Japan has been low and, increased demand for ... Read more...
