Combined cervical plexus blockade for carotid endarterectomy impairs autonomic CV homeostasis
October 25th, 2006
Combined cervical plexus blockade for carotid endarterectomy impairs autonomic cardiovascular homeostasis. According to a study from South Korea, "Compromised cardiac autonomic modulation can produce cardiovascular disturbances. We investigated whether combined deep and superficial cervical plexus (CP) blockade for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) produces changes in autonomic cardiovascular regulation." Y.K. Kim and colleagues at University of Ulsan in Seoul wrote, "To estimate alterations in cardiovascular autonomic control before and after combined CP blockade in 22 patients undergoing CEA, the heart rate (HR) variability, systolic blood pressure...
