Article Synopsis
- Children under 3 years old, like the 18-month-old girl in this report, can suffer from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), causing significant functional and psychological issues.
- The girl experienced severe pain in her right lower limb without any prior trauma, and conventional treatments were ineffective until she underwent a lumbar sympathetic block (LSB) procedure.
- The LSB was successful, leading to substantial pain relief, improved sleep, weight gain, and the start of rehabilitation after the procedure, indicating its potential effectiveness in young patients.
Background: Norepinephrine has been recently introduced for prophylaxis against postspinal hypotension during cesarean delivery; however, no data are available regarding its optimum dose. The objective of this study is to compare three infusion rates of norepinephrine for prophylaxis against postspinal hypotension during cesarean delivery.
Methods: The authors conducted a double-blinded, randomized, controlled study including full-term pregnant women scheduled for cesarean delivery.
