Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
North American survey of the management of dural puncture occurring during labour epidural analgesia.
To document the range and the most common strategies for the management of the parturient with inadvertent dural puncture (DP) during labour epidural analgesia. ⋯ There is little difference between the practices reported by Canadian or US centres. The expressed optimism regarding the efficacy of EBP is not supported by the evidence available and may be unwarranted. More research is needed to define the issue better.

To measure the haemodynamic effects of rocuronium in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ The haemodynamic profile for a 0.6 mg.kg-1 bolus of rocuronium is acceptable for patients with cardiovascular disease.
-
To report the successful perioperative anaesthetic and analgesic management of a spinal trauma patient with a surgically placed epidural catheter. ⋯ A surgically placed epidural catheter provided excellent, safe, perioperative anaesthesia and analgesia in this patient with unstable spinal trauma.
