Abstract:
At the National Institute of Burn, from January 2001 to April 2003, 45 subjects (21 males, 24 females, aged 16-67 years old) were operated for burn and underwent a plastic surgery for burn on the areas of chest, abdomen, sex organs and inferior limbs. Epidural anaesthesia was performed with bupivacain 0.5% x 1.25mg/kg, fentanyl 0.01 x 1 microgram/kg, adrenaline 1% x 3 drops. Good result was reached according to Bromage clanification score. There was no case needing other method of anesthsia. Common post-operative side effects were mild headache and urine retention. This anaesthesia was a good method, simple and safer for burn surgeries.
