Epidoral Needle and Kits

A central venous catheter (CVC)—commonly referred to as a central line—is a long, thin, flexible tube inserted into a large vein that leads to the heart. It plays a vital role in advanced medical care, offering direct access to the bloodstream for treatments that require high efficiency or long-term administration.

Clinical indications for epidural anesthesia and analgesia have expanded significantly over the past several decades. Epidural analgesia is often used to supplement general anesthesia (GA) for surgical procedures in patients of all ages with moderate-to severe comorbid disease; provide analgesia in the intraoperative, postoperative, peripartum, and end-of-life settings; and can be used as the primary anesthetic for surgeries from the mediastinum to the lower extremities. In addition, epidural techniques are used increasingly for diagnostic procedures, acute pain therapy, and management of chronic pain. Epidural block may also reduce the surgical stress response, the risk of cancer recurrence, the incidence of perioperative thromboembolic events, and, possibly, the morbidity and mortality associated with major surgery.
