In a study in which vascular filling was assessed only by arterial blood pressure, pHi [gastric pH] values were higher in patients who received a combination of TEA [thoracic epidural anaesthesia] and general anaesthesia than in patients who received general anaesthesia only... In a second study, vascular filling was optimised by means of a pulmonary artery catheter, and no difference was found in pHi values between patients anaesthetised with TEA and general anaesthesia and with general anaesthesia only... 2, record 1, English, - vascular%20filling

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 1, French, - remplissage%20vasculaire

Epidural Technique [for inserting a catheter]... An epidural(Tuohy) needle is inserted in the sagittal plane, with its bevel pointing cephalad. After traversing the supraspinous ligament, the needle is then passed into the interspinous ligament which grips it tightly. The stylet is removed from the Tuohy needle and the loss-of-resistance syringe attached. The syringe may contain saline, air or both according to preference. The Tuohy needle may then be advanced slowly using either a continuous or intermittent movement.... The Tuohy needle is gently removed and the catheter is fixed to the skin under a transparent adhesive dressing. 1, record 3, English, - Tuohy%20needle
