Ne oldu? Açıklanamaz bir olgu: İstenmeyen subdural blok

Epidural blok günübirlik operasyonlar için uygun bir anestezi yöntemidir. Bu teknik genel olarak güvenli ve etkili kabul edilir. Bu olgu sunumunda 20 yaşında bayan hastada pilonidal sinüs cerrahisi için tek doz epidural blok sonrası gelişen istenmeyen subdural blok olgusu sunulmuştur. Ani apne, bilinç kaybı ve bilateral midriyazis enjeksiyondan sonra birkaç dakika içinde meydana geldi. Enjeksiyondan sonraki 80.dakikada hastada alt ekstremitelerdeki motor blok ve T4 seviyesindeki duysal blok devam ederken tam bir bilinç açıklığı ve spontan solunumu vardı. Enjeksiyon sonrası motor blok 165 dakika devam ederken duyusal blok 225 dakika sonra sona erdi

What happened? An inexplicable case: Accidental subdural block

Epidural block is an appropriate anesthesia method for outpatient operation. This technique is generally safe and efficient. We present the case of a 20-year-old female patient with accidental subdural block after a single dose of epidural block for pilonidal sinus surgery. Sudden apnea, unconsciousness, and bilateral mydriasis occurred within a few minutes after injection. Within 80 minutes after injection, the patient regained full consciousness and spontaneous respiration, with motor block in lower extremities and sensory block until the T4 level. Motor block continued until 165 minutes after injection, whereas sensory block ended 225 minutes later
