Bupivacaine/lidocaine

Bupivacaine/lidocaine Reactions 1704, p74 - 2 Jun 2018 Horner’s syndrome and Harlequin syndrome: case report A 31-year-old woman developed Horner’s syndrome and Harlequin syndrome following an anaesthetic bolus of bupivacaine and lidocaine. The primipara woman requested epidural analgesia during labour following induction with oxytocin at 37 weeks of gestation. She received an epidural analgesia, after which relief from labour pain was achieved. Six hours after the epidural analgesia, she was suspected for possible loss of fetal well- being during the active phase of dilatation. Therefore, an emergency caesarean was required. She received a bolus of bupivacaine 25mg and lidocaine 200mg anaesthesia through the epidural catheter with the aim of appropriate sensory- motor blocking. After fifteen minutes of epidural anaesthesia, there was an appearance of unilateral flushing on the on the right upper limb and right-hand side of the face with elevated temperature and unilateral hyperhidrosis. After a few minutes of evolution, establishment of Horner’s syndrome followed by while pallor, coldness and nausea in the left unilateral region were noted. There were no other concomitant symptoms. The women was transferred to the resuscitation unit. A differential diagnosis of Harlequin syndrome was made. In the post-surgery period, she received IV analgesic regimen http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Reactions Weekly Springer Journals
