[Usefulness of radiologic monitoring of epidural catheters using epidurography].
Peridural analgesia involves a segmental block which at the thoracic level allows for early pulmonary recovery after chest or high abdominal surgery. The approach is difficult in children for reasons related to anatomy, maintenance, insertion of the catheter and dosing. ⋯ Epidurography provides objective monitoring of tip placement and trajectory of epidural catheters, advantages which argue in favor of more frequent application of this imaging technique.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Diltiazem compared with placebo in the prevention of myocardial ischemia during non-cardiac surgery].
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous diltiazem to prevent myocardial ischemia during surgery on patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing non cardiac surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ Intravenous diltiazem administered to patients with ischemic heart disease under general anesthesia for non cardiac surgery was effective in our study for preventing intraoperative ischemic episodes.

Review Case Reports[Epidural anesthesia and analgesia in the perioperative treatment of a patient with Kartagener syndrome].
Kartagener's syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by a triad of symptoms--bronchiectasis, situs inversus and sinusitis--and is classified as an immotile cilia syndrome. Patients may experience specific airway problems when undergoing anesthesia for surgical procedures. We report the case of a woman with Kartagener's syndrome who underwent surgery under epidural anesthesia with postoperative epidural analgesia, both techniques proving successful.
