Q

CSE TECH: 2 level

tell me the tech

A
  • epidural cat is inserted 1st and tested so placement is confirmed
  • then spinal is done one or 2 interspaces Below the epidural level

Q

CSE TECH: Single level

once epidural cath is placed, any fluid aspiratedmust be assessed to see if it’s CSF. how can you do this?

A
  • CSF is warm to the touch
  • CSF will form a precipitate if mixed with equal volume of Sodium thiopental
    *
17
Q

CSE TECH: Single level

any injection via the catheter must ONLY BE DONE after what? and you must aspirate every __-__ ccs while giveing epidural doses

A
  • careful and diligent aspiration test
  • 3-5 cc’s
18
Q

CSE TECH: Single level

once spinal is done reassess your epidural needle placement how?

A

LOR

19
Q

CSE TECH: Single level

how should you give the epidural dose and why?

A
  • via catheter rather than the needle
  • b/c your needle is right infornt of the dural hole
20
Q

CSE TECH: Sequential

why was it designed?

A

to minimize hypotension effects

21
Q

CSE TECH: Sequential

tech

A
  • an epidural needle placed at selected IVS
  • low dose (7.5mg hyperbaric Bupivacaine) spinal given
  • epidural is placed quickly as possiable
  • pt placed supine
  • once spinal dose has set and level determined catheter is used to titrate the dose higher
  • (1.5-2ccs per unblocked segment) untill desired effect is determined
22
Q

CSE TECH: Sequential

advantages

A

minimizes hypotensive effect

23
Q

CSE TECH: Sequential

disadvantages

A
  • time concuming
  • using each tech at 1/2 it’s potential
24
Q

CSE:

although suitable for anytime either is used it is particulary suitable for what pt’s

A

obstetric pts

25
Q

CSE:

in OB it was the tech employed to provide the “_____” epidural

A

walking

26
Q

CSE:

the “walking epidural is typically accomplished by using what LA

A

0.0625% bupivacaine

27
Q

CSE: tech and uses

Involves placement of epidural needle where?

A

L3-4 or

L4-5

28
Q

CSE: tech and uses

usually the catheter is activated using _____-____% _____ followed by initiation of an infusion of _____-____% ______ @ __-__ mL/hr (w or w/o opiods)

A
  • 0.125-0.25% bupivacaine
  • 0.0625-0.125% Bupivacaine
  • 10-12 mL/hr
29
Q

Dispite the utility and flexability of the CSE tech, several concerns r/t it’s use exist. What are they

A
  • Ability for the pt to SAFELY ambulate
  • failure to obain SAB
  • Catheter migration
  • Metallic particles
  • PDPH
  • Infection
  • Neuro injury
30
Q
