A small generator, similar to a heart pacemaker, is surgically implanted, usually in the abdomen. Percutaneous leads connect to electrodes implanted in the epidural space of the spine. The implant is intended to be permanent, but it can be removed, if necessary. The physician programs the levels of stimulation and the patient uses a hand-held controller to activate the generator and adjust the intensity, as needed. 3, record 9, English, - spinal%20cord%20stimulation

Une extension percutanée est liée à une sonde implantée dans l’espace péridural de la colonne vertébrale. L’implant a vocation permanente mais son retrait est possible si nécessaire. Le médecin programme les niveaux de stimulation et le patient se sert d’un programmateur portatif afin d’activer le neurostimulateur et régler l’intensité au besoin. 4, record 9, French, - stimulation%20de%20la%20moelle%20%C3%A9pini%C3%A8re

Le maintien de la volémie ou masse sanguine totale est indispensable à l’oxygénation tissulaire [...] Toute hypovolémie, qu’elle soit absolue par diminution de la masse sanguine, ou relative par diminution du retour veineux au cœur, expose au risque d’effondrement du débit cardiaque, de la pression artérielle et surtout du transport et de la délivrance tissulaire en oxygène, à l’origine d’un syndrome de défaillance multiviscérale. Le remplissage vasculaire a donc pour objectifs la restauration d’une volémie efficace ainsi que le maintien d’une pression de perfusion et d’un apport d’oxygène adéquats. Différents solutés de remplissage sont à notre disposition. Ils se répartissent en deux grandes catégories, les cristalloïdes et les colloïdes. Le choix d’un produit de remplissage doit prendre en compte les propriétés physico-chimiques, pharmacocinétiques et pharmacodynamiques du soluté, ses effets secondaires, ainsi que le contexte et l’indication du remplissage vasculaire. 2, record 10, French, - remplissage%20vasculaire

Cannulae usually consist of a small-length rigid or semirigid plastic or metal tube, a handle, and a valve. The valve regulates the pressure within the cavity. Most cannulae are fitted with a trocar or stylet during insertion. After insertion, the trocar is withdrawn, providing a rigid or semirigid structure that can be connected to an external tube, catheter, or connector for the injection or withdrawal of substances. Cannulae may also provide a port through which diagnostic or surgical instruments are passed to gain access to and operate on internal structures.

On se sert de l'analgésie épidurale pour soulager les douleurs de l'accouchement. Il s'agit d'installer dans le dos un petit tube (cathéter) pour injecter l'anesthésique qui va enlever la douleur des contractions. [...] L'analgésie épidurale, développée pour soulager la douleur de l'enfantement, est maintenant aussi utilisée pour contrôler la douleur après une chirurgie majeure.

L'analgésie péridurale est une technique d'anesthésie locorégionale réalisée par un médecin anesthésiste-réanimateur. Elle est destinée à supprimer ou à atténuer les douleurs de l'accouchement et/ou, si besoin, à en faciliter le déroulement. C'est à ce jour la méthode la plus efficace. Son principe est de bloquer la transmission des sensations douloureuses au niveau des nerfs provenant de l'utérus en injectant à leur proximité un produit anesthésique local associé ou non à un dérivé de la morphine. 1, record 17, French, - analg%C3%A9sie%20p%C3%A9ridurale
