Thoracic epidural anaesthesia – A promising alternative for a patient with difficult airway
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A patient with post burn contracture of neck and Marjolins ulcer on anterior chest wall was posted for wide local excision and skin grafting Skin graft was taken from lower limb under unilateral subarachnoid block and wide local excision of ulcer was performed under thoracic epidural anaesthesia In the background of preformulated strategy in view of anticipated difficult airway regional anaesthesia is a well established and safe alternative in expert handsKeywords Anterior chest wall surgery difficult airway Thoracic epidural Post burn contracture PBC

Objective: Isobaric levobupivacaine has been recently introduced for intrathecal use and there are very few studies comparing it with widely used hyperbaric bupivacaine. So this randomized trial was planned to study the...
Ultrasound guided paramedian approach compared with landmark based paramedian approach for thoracic epidural
Introduction: Currently, one has to rely on surface anatomical landmarks and loss of resistance technique for epidural analgesia. It frequently (70%) leads to incorrect identification of a given inter-space as it is a bl...
