Abstract

Objective: To study the effect of lumbar sympathetic block (LSB) with a mixture of local anesthetics and steroids on pain in patients with chronic ischemic lower limb disease. Methods: Retrospectively 23 patients were reviewed with peripheral arterial disease who underwent LSB using a mixture of 8 mg of dexamethasone, 80 mg of 2% lidocaine, and 4 mL of saline at 2 levels, L2 and L4, under the guidance of fluoroscopy. Recordings of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores at 3 days before the blockage, and 1 month and 3 months after treatment were obtained. Results: The study included 20 (87%) male and 3 (13%) female patients. The mean age of the patients was 59.65±13.33 years. The patients’ post-blockage 3rd day, and 1st and 3rd month VAS scores were significantly lower than the baseline VAS scores (p

Özet

Amaç: Alt ekstremitenin kronik iskemik hastalığı olan hastalarda, lokal anestezik ve steroid karışımı ile uygulanan lomber sempatik blokajın (LSB) ağrı üzerine etkisinin araştırılması. Yöntem: Floroskopi eşliğinde L2 ve L4 seviyelerinden 8 mg deksametazon, 80 mg %2 lidokain ve 4 mL salin karışımı kullanılarak LSB uygulanan 23 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) değerleri blokaj öncesi ve blokajdan 3 gün, 1 ve 3 ay sonra kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 20 (%87) erkek ve 3 (%13) kadın hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 59,65±13,33 yıl idi. Hastaların blokaj sonrası 3. gün, 1. ve 3. ay VAS skorları başlangıç VAS skorlarından anlamlı derecede düşüktü (p
