Anesthesia component renders pts
motionless, still, blocking them motionless for surgery; blocking sensory and motor
Analgesia component of epidural
preferentially blocking sensory over motor; goal is to preserve motor function.
Can epidural be targeted to be anesthesia or analgesia?
yes
Dermatomes of the head, neck, chest, face is the
cervical region
arms are divided between
thoracic and cervical
legs' dermatomes are divided between
lumbar and sacrum
chest dermatomes are divided between
chest and thoracic
chest to groin dermatome
thoracic
which less dense? spinal epidrual?
epidural
which epidural location usu uses fluro?
cervical
ligaments you go through to get to epidural space
suprapinous ligament,interspinous ligament,ligamentum flavum
path of needle for epidural
supraspinous ligament to interspinous ligament, ligamentum flavum, to epidural; if go thru dura in csf
does epidural go through dura?
no spinal does, where csf is
what is in the epidural space?
air,nerve roots, veins, fat
if u go beyond epidural where are u?
dura, spinal cord/csf,nerve roots
two epidural approaches and which is best for lumbar/thoracic
paramedian (thoracic); midline (lumbar)
epidural sets btween __min
5-30min (slower than spinal)
when u go into ligamentum flavum into epidural space need something that gives/ what?
air, syringe full of saline

find spinal process, then .5 finger breadth off midline
first bone you hit when go in thoracic is the
lamina (so comes back/redirects)
two most common things we put into epidural
local and opiods
opiods from epidurals work on the_____; locals work on____
opiods on spinal cord; nerve roots
do ionized or non ionized drugs cross the membrane?
nonionized
more lipid soluble=
more potent
more protein bound is shorter or longer duration?
longer duration b/c harder to eliminate
to min toxicity
protein bound, metabolized quickly, epinepherine
nerves fire at diff frequ. the more times they fire
faster blocking
local anesthetics block sypathetic ______
preganglionic fibers
what causes a drop in MAP, decreased SVP, and vasodilation with epidurals
blocking of preganglionic sympathetic fibers
which type of nerves are the hardest to block
thick, mylenated
once nonionized form enters membrane, to act it must be in the ____form
ionized
