7. The efficacy of epidural analgesia in postoperative pain management of major surgery for treatment of lumbar spinal degenerative diseases
Main Article Content
Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of epidural analgesia in management of postoperative wound pain after major surgical procedures for treatment of lumbar spinal degenerative diseases, we performed a retrospective study in 61 consecutive 30 (49.2%) of 61 patients did not require any parenteral supplements. Of the remaining 31 patients who required supplementary parenteral analgesia in the first 48 hours, 21 (34.4%) received a single dose and 10 (16.4%) required more than one dose. There were 4 of transient hypotension and 4 cases of sensory dysfunction of lower extremity including 3 patients with lower limb motor deficit.
