Analgesic effects of ethanol injection on advanced cancer patients by epidural two-locus puncture / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To observe the analgesic effects of ethanol injection on advanced cancer patients by epidural two locus puncture. Methods Epidural two locus puncture was performed on 46 cases of advanced cancer patients. One locus was T 4 T 5, the other T 9 T 10 . Ethanol injection was used at the dose of 4 ml 95% ethanol on each locus. Results Satisfactory analgesic effect was found in all 46 patients. Conclusion Epidural two locus puncture is of wide diffusing range, low dose of injection and effective analgesia, which can overcome the disadvantage of partial analgesia by one locus puncture.
