06/01/2014 - "Emerging evidence has shown that epidural anesthesia could reduce the excessive stress response after surgery, and may help to preserve the body's defenses against tumor progression in comparison with general anesthesia in malignant patients receiving operation. "
07/01/2011 - "The goal of the study is to assess the efficacy of conservative therapy and epidural anesthesia for ACS treatment in postoperative period in patients with tumors of the sellar region. "

01/01/1991 - "In epidural anesthesia with spread of blockade above T 10, 6% HES 40/0.5 is superior to LRS in the prevention of severe hypotension. "
01/01/2006 - "Further studies are needed in order to determine why women undergoing open heart surgery under high thoracic epidural anesthesia are at a relatively greater risk of hypotension."
01/01/2006 - "In the present study we evaluated whether the sitting position during initiation of small-dose combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE) would induce less hypotension as compared with the lateral position. "
02/01/2004 - "Short-term studies (20 min) in patients undergoing lumbar epidural anesthesia suggest that plasma volume may increase when hypotension is present, which may have implications for the choice of treatment of hypotension. "
09/01/2003 - "This study investigates the effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia on intestinal microvascular perfusion during hemorrhagic hypotension in rats. "

11/01/2011 - "Epidural anesthesia provided best result in postoperative pain management and improved result of spirometria in patients after abdominal surgery in upper and lower region. "

07/01/1993 - "This study was designed to compare the influence of epidural anesthesia with that of general anesthesia on postoperative pain state and management. "

07/01/2013 - "To evaluate the efficacy of dry powdered ginger, given orally, on nausea and vomiting during and after an elective cesarean section performed under combined spinal epidural anesthesia. "
10/01/2011 - "Nausea and emesis frequently arise during cesarean section performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia, particularly after delivery. "
09/01/2006 - "Patients with epidural anesthesia had significantly less nausea and vomiting. "
11/01/2002 - "The incidence of nausea and vomiting during the elective cesarean delivery under epidural anesthesia between the 2 groups were compared and the neonates' Apgar scores assessed after the delivery. "
11/01/1995 - "The authors' objective was to compare the outcomes, including the incidence of nausea and vomiting and the time until discharge to home, of patients undergoing general anesthesia and thoracic epidural anesthesia for oncologic breast procedures. "
