Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ricardo Santos Zuza"
- Recent research by Ricardo Santos Zuza focuses on the potential impact of spinal punctures through tattooed skin, specifically investigating the inflammatory responses and long-term effects on the meninges and spinal cord.
- In his 2019 study involving an experimental model with rabbits, Zuza examined whether spinal punctures through tattooed skin could lead to adhesive arachnoiditis, a serious condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis.
- The findings suggest that puncturing through tattooed skin may indeed provoke acute inflammatory changes in the meninges, raising concerns for anesthesiologists regarding the safety of neuraxial procedures in patients with tattoos.
