- Medicina baseada na evidência: anestesia geral combinadaPublication . Vilela, H; Ormonde, LApesar do número crescente de publicações abordando os efeitos da anestesia loco-regional no período perioperatório, este tópico complexo encerra em si múltiplas questões ainda por resolver. O debate entre anestesia regional e anestesia geral é antigo e as respostas são escassas. Múltiplos factores influenciam os outcomes peri-operatórios, incluindo as características individuais dos doentes, a técnica cirúrgia e anestésica e os cuidados médicos e de enfermagem prestados. Neste artigo os autores procedem à revisão da evidência científica disponível, relativa às vantagens e desvantagens da anestesia geral combinada.
- Remote spinal epidural hematoma after spinal anesthesia for caesarean sectionPublication . Vilaça, MJ; Faísco, A; Reis, E; Alexandre, G; Teixeira, MCIn the last few decades there has been a widespread of the use of central neuraxial blockages (CNB) in obstetric patients. The complications from the CNB range from the bothersome to the crippling and life-threatening. Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is one of such severe complications. A 29-year-old pregnant woman at term, ASA II, was proposed for a caesarean section after inadequate progression of labour. Spinal anesthesia was administered and surgery was uneventful. The patient recovered from the motor and sensitive blockage but, twelve hours after the procedure, she started complaining of paresthesia over the lower limbs that progressed to paraplegia. An urgent magnetic resonance revealed a dorsally located SEH extending from D7 to D9, remote from the site of needle puncture. The patient was transferred and an emergency laminectomy and evacuation of the hematoma was conducted. One year after the event she remained with neurological deficits.
