[Experiences with a method of continuous brachial plexus blockade following melanoma perfusion of an upper extremity].
A method of continuous brachial plexus blockade by an epidural catheter is reported. This kind of postoperative analgesia was applied to 10 patients over a period of 2-3 days after hyperthermic melanoma perfusion of the upper extremities. A sufficient analgetic effect was obtained by intermittent injection of local anesthetics.
