[Complications of peridural anesthesia].
Peridural anesthesia is believed to be a complicated kind of analgesia yielding grave complications (syncope, apnoe, collapse, persistant and pronounced hypotension, nematomyelia, paraplegia of the lower extremities, Brown--Seguard syndrome and many others). This king od anesthesia is permissible only in an anesthesiological or reanimatological department. The frequency of complications depends on a level of injecting the anesthetic, patient's status and age. The former is the greater the higher the level of the peridural space puncture. To combat against complications occurring while using this kind of analgesia everything necessary for reanimation provision (intubation of the trachea, closed and open heart massage, etc.) should be ready at hand.
