A new method for release of severe mentosternal contractures has been described in this paper under central neuraxial blockade. The contracture release was performed under thoracic epidural analgesia. This technique can benefit patients with mentosternal contractures to avoid the problems of entubation and it can also assist in postoperative recovery and analgesia. The epidural catheter can be used to extend the height or duration of intraoperative block and is also useful to provide postoperative epidural analgesia.
本文描述了一种在中枢神经轴索阻滞下松解严重胸骨柄挛缩的新方法。挛缩松解在胸段硬膜外镇痛下进行。该技术可使胸骨柄挛缩患者受益,避免气管插管相关问题,还可辅助术后恢复及镇痛。硬膜外导管可用于延长术中阻滞的范围或时间,也有助于提供术后硬膜外镇痛。
