Characterization of Infant Spinal Anesthesia Using Surface Electromyography: An Observational Study
Samuel J Aldous BS, Dylan T Casey BS, Michael DeSarno MS, Emmett E Whitaker MD, FAAP
“Historically, the clinical characteristics of these anesthetic techniques have been described subjectively, and no study has objectively characterized infant Spinal anesthesia (SA) versus caudal epidural anesthesia (CEA). Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a safe, inexpensive, and non-invasive method to study the behavior of neural blockade. The goal of this observational study was to objectively define the rate of onset, maximum effect, and duration of infant SA versus CEA using continuous sEMG.”
