Hello! I am Giorgio. Many times, I found myself discussing with collegues about epidural anesthesia vs blended anesthesia (epidural + general anesthesia). The common elements that born out are: surgical time (> 90 min.), trendelenburg position, major abdominal surgery, pediatric surgery, etc.
I was just wondering what could be the opinion of this exitamated mainling group about this topic, and above all if other elements (i.e. better treatment of intraoperative complication, - bledding, vagal stimulation-) can help us, in choosing the better technique.
Thanks for your contribute.
