Role of Continuous High Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia in Hippocampal Apoptosis after Global Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
Background: Cervical sympathetic blockade has been found to reduce cerebral vascular resistance and improve focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the sympathetic blockade of high thoracic epidural anesthesia (HTEA) would reduce hippocampal apoptosis...
