Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 39, Issue 2
Abstract
Epidural anesthesia is a well-recognized and identified regional anaesthesia technique in anesthesia practice. First applied at sacral region in 1895 by Cathelin and today it has become a basic regional anaesthesia technique. Frequent application of epidural anesthesia has caused an increase at serious complications like bradycardia, cardiac arrest, neurologic and infective complications. But now, it has become a frequent practice for anesthesiologists under developments in practices and techniques. We aim to review serious complications of epidural anesthesia within current literatures.
