Evaluation of thoracic epidural anesthesia on postoperative cardiac repolarizatio
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Patients scheduled for non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000013347
- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Anesthesiology, Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine
- Brief Summary
The median postoperative corrected QT interval interval with 3 ml/h epidural levobupivacaine was significantly longer than that without epidural analgesia. Using multiple regression analysis for the factors known to affect postoperative corrected QT interval interval, epidural analgesia was found to be an independent variable for prolongation, and the mean difference of the corrected QT interval interval with or without epidural analgesia was 23 ms after adjustment.
