This report describes a case where a continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia was inserted for an operation in a patient with classical hemophilia which was unknown at the time of catheter insertion. In addition to an exact description of the intervention, the anamnesis and laboratory contraindications for epidural anesthesia are discussed. Furthermore, the necessity of preoperative investigations and their value when an epidural anesthesia is planned are also discussed.

Efficacy of Methylene Blue Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Postoperative Pain After VATS Lobectomy.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Thoracic Surgery Unit, University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Naples, Italy.
Background: Paravertebral block (PVB) is effective in controlling postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy but is subject to a high rate of failure because of incorrect site of injection. We compared methylene blue PVB with thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) for postoperative pain after VATS lobectomy.
Methods: We conducted a prospective randomized trial of patients undergoing VATS lobectomy; 120 patients were randomly assigned to the PVB or TEA group.
Factors Associated with Postoperative Pain Trajectory, Nausea and Vomiting After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study.

Objectives: Postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting adversely affect postoperative rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to identify factors associated with postoperative pain trajectory and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and evaluated the effects of different analgesic modalities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing unilateral primary TKA from 2017 to 2022.
Bilateral Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block for the Pain Management of Multiple Rib Fractures With Flail Chest: A Case Report.

Flail chest is a life-threatening condition characterized by multiple rib fractures that result in a partially free rib cage. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) allows visualization of the needle tip under ultrasound guidance and can be safely performed, unlike epidural anesthesia where the needle tip cannot be visualized. Here, we describe a case of flail chest in whom TPVB was used, as it provides the same level of analgesia as epidural anesthesia and has a perfect analgesic effect.

The effect of epidural infusion of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics is unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of epidural or intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics during lower extremity varicose veins surgery (saphenectomy) under epidural anaesthesia. Ninety patients were randomly allocated to three groups: ED group (epidural: 0.
