Factors associated with hypotension and bradycardia after extradural block
No full textIn order to identify patient-, anesthesia-, and surgery-related factors influencing the probability of hypotension and bradycardia after epidural blockade, an observational study was conducted on 1050 nonpregnant patients. Backward stepwise logistic regression was performed on the variables hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg) and bradycardia (heart rate <or=to45 bpm). Hypotension and bradycardia occurred in 158 and 24 patients, respectively. The probability of hypotension increased when epidural fentanyl was administered (odds ratio [OR] = 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-4.11), with body weight and spread of epidural analgesia, and decreased when a tourniquet was used (OR = 0.01, CI = 0.01-0.02) and bupivacaine instead of carbonated lidocaine was administered (OR = 0.28, CI = 0.14-0.60). Sensitivity and specificity of the model were 89% and 88%, respectively. The probability of bradycardia was less in women (OR = 0.05, CI = 0.01-0.41) and when a tourniquet was used (OR = 0.04, CI = 0.02-0.09). Sensitivity and specificity were 50% and 97%, respectively. In conclusion, our analysis can contribute to identification of patients at high risk to develop hypotension and bradycardia after epidural blockade. If bupivacaine instead of carbonated lidocaine is used and epidural fentanyl is not administered a decrease in the incidence of hypotension may be anticipated

Gauge Fields and Strings
No full textBased on his own work, the author synthesizes the most promising approaches and ideals in field theory today. He presents such subjects as statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and their interrelation, continuous global symmetry, non-Abelian gauge fields, instantons and the quantam theory of loops, and quantum strings and random surfaces. This book is aimed at postgraduate students studying field theory and statistical mechanics, and for research workers in continuous global theory
