Abstract

Electrocardiographic monitoring was undertaken in thirteen women and seven men before, during, and after epidural anaesthesia with bupivacaine 0.75%. The average surveying time lasted 18:28 h. Bupivacaine 0.75% was given in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg body weight (n = 8) and 2 mg/kg body weight (n = 12). Eleven patients (8 female/3 male) = 55% showed VES of category I of the LOWN-classification. Three subjects (3 female) suffered VES before and after injection of bupivacaine 0.75%. Five patients (3 female/2 male) showed VES before and three (2 female/1 male) only after epidural blockade. Serious arrhythmias or other signs of toxic actions on the myocardium were not registered.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
