Cardiovascular effects of extradural anaesthesia.
The changes that occur in the circulation following extradural block are described and compared with spinal anaesthesia. The contribution of height of blockade, the effects of the local anaesthesic agent after absorption and the modification in the haemodynamic changes caused by vasopressors added to the local anaesthetic agent, are discussed.
