Defining the therapeutic role of local anesthetic
sympathetic blockade in complex regional pain syndrome: a narrative and systematic review.
Meningococcal purpura fulminans: treatment of vascular insufficiency in a 2-yr-old child with lumbar epidural
sympathetic blockade. Anesthesiology 1989; 71: 463-464.
There were no significant differences between groups in intraoperative variables including the use of
sympathetic blockade (regional anaesthesia), heparin, dextrans, temperature at completion of anastomosis, total microscope time or blood loss (Table 2).
Spasm can be relieved by the addition of a regional block to produce a
sympathetic blockade, application of local lidocaine, application of warm saline, and by warming the patient.
Sympathetic blockade leads to dilatation of both resistance and capacitance vessels in the region supplied by the blockade nerves.
Treatment with the TRPA1 antagonist or
sympathetic blockade lowered the LF/HF ratio and prevented wDE-induced arrhythmia sensitivity.
Effect of regional
sympathetic blockade with guanethidine.
Intestinal perfusion was increased due to
sympathetic blockade, this being already found in previous studies at the muscularis and the mucosal layers (29, 30), and in other experimental models in multiple organs (see Annex 3 for additional references).
The paravertebral block produces predominantly unilateral
sympathetic blockade compared to bilateral
sympathetic blockade after thoracic epidural block.
The effect of
sympathetic blockade on facial sweating and cutaneous vasculer responses to painful stimulation of the eye.
As expected,
sympathetic blockade with atenolol significantly increased the RR interval, whereas parasympathetic blockade with methylatropine resulted in a nonsignificant decrease in the RR interval (Figure 5A).
Measurement of skin temperature can be used as an indicator of
sympathetic blockade induced by neuraxial anaesthesia.
