    Abstract

    Background Various additives have been used to increase the duration of analgesia provided by bupivacaine administered by single-shot caudal injection in children.

    Key points

    • The use of clonidine or morphine to prolong analgesia provided by caudal bupivacaine was compared in children undergoing upper abdominal surgery.
    • Clonidine increased the duration of analgesia and sedation with fewer side-effects compared with morphine.
    • Clonidine was a safe and effective supplement to caudal bupivacaine analgesia for upper abdominal surgery.

    Systemic Lidocaine Decreased the Perioperative Opioid Analgesic Requirements but Failed to Reduce Discharge Time After Ambulatory Surgery

    Par
    Perioperative systemic lidocaine significantly reduces opioid requirements in the ambulatory setting without affecting time to discharge. Postoperative pain is the most common reason for delay in discharge and unplanned hospital admission after ambulatory surgery. 1–3 Because postoperative pain is to a large extent an inflammatory phenomenon, administration of systemic local anesthetics, which have inflammatory modulatory properties, 4 could significantly reduce pain and therefore allow more rapid discharge. 5 Lidocaine has an excellent safety record when administered by low-dose infusion. 5–7 However, whereas decreased hospital stay after inpatient surgery has been demonstrated, the effect of intraoperative and early postoperative lidocaine infusion on duration of stay after ambulatory surgery is not known. Although it see...

    Government Health Policy and Nurse Anesthetists

    Par
    Recent federal legislation and changes to the U.S. Medicare program have expanded opportunities for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to provide care to more patients and receive reimbursement for their services, yet many states still restrict their scope of practice and limit their pay. A special section in the current issue of  Clinical Scholars Review , the journal of advanced practice nursing published by Columbia Nursing, explores how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) empowers CRNAs to help make anesthesia services more accessible to patients; it also highlights laws in New York and other states that may impede the expanded access to care envisioned by ACA.
