A prospective study of 70 elderly conventionally continuously randomized patients was done to compare thehaemodynamic changes produced during continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus epidural anaesthesia.The hemodynamic parameters (Blood pressure, Heart rate) were slightly changed in continuous infusiongroup but there was no significant difference compared with baseline value (p>0.05). Whereas, In bolusgroup, the hemodynamic parameters differed significantly compared with baseline values and the patientsin group I. So conclusion of better hemodynamic stability in continuous infusion epidural anaesthesia thanthat in intermittent bolus epidural method in elderly is reached.Key Words: Epidural anaesthesia, haemodynamic, intermittent bolus, continuous infusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
