Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia, or Electrical Storm, is a relatively common cause of mortality and morbidity after myocardial infarction. We present a case in which left stellate ganglion blocks were performed under ultrasound guidance in order to alleviate recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient requiring extracorpeal membrane oxygenation after myocardial infarction. A medically complex 54-year-old male after two weeks removed from an acute ST elevation myocardial infarction status post stenting and intra-aortic balloon pump placement presented in the cardiovascular intensive care unit with recurrent unstable ventricular tachycardia while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and multiple vasoactive infusions. Our acute pain service was consulted by the cardiac electrophysiology service to provide left stellate ganglion blocks in attempt to attenuate electrical storm. Multiple single shot left stellate ganglion blocks were performed on subsequent days with increasing local anesthetic

The effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the blood flow of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary retina, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a major blinding disease, e.g. glaucoma, are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a sympathetic block on the blood flow of the ONH and the peripapillary retina. Heidelberg Retinal Flowmetry, which is a system incorporating a noninvasive confocal scanning laser Doppler flow meter, was used to measure the retinal blood flow. A unilateral stellate ganglion block was performed in 11 healthy subjects. The retinal blood flows were measured before, 30 and 120 min after SGB. On each occasion, three scans were obtained and the blood flow was analyzed. The systemic blood pressure (BP) and the intraocular pressure (IOP) were also measured at the set time points ...

AU - Lin, Shien-Fong. AU - Chen, Peng Sheng. PY - 2015/3/1. Y1 - 2015/3/1. N2 - Background and Objectives: Recent studies showed that, in addition to parasympathetic nerves, cervical vagal nerves contained significant sympathetic nerves. We hypothesized that cervical vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) may capture the sympathetic nerves within the vagal nerve and activate the stellate ganglion. Materials and Methods: We recorded left stellate ganglion nerve activity (SGNA), left thoracic vagal nerve activity (VNA), and subcutaneous electrocardiogram in seven dogs during left cervical VNS with 30 seconds on-time ...

The first step of the stellate ganglion block treatment is applying a local anesthetic to the treatment area. This helps to relieve any discomfort that may occur during the injection process. Once the treatment area is numbed, a needle will be carefully inserted into the stellate ganglion nerves, which will be accessed from the front of either side of the neck. After the needle is in place, the injection will be performed. This treatment is typically completed in less than an hour. After treatment, you may notice some minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, but these effects usually fade within a few days ...

Stellate Ganglion Blocks are used to help diagnosis and treat pain caused by the sympathetic nerves. Its used to treat pain from shingles and regional pain that affect the head, neck, face, or arms. A series of these injections may be required to help treat the pain.. A fluoroscope is used while a patient lays on their back. An IV is given to help relax the patient. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area.. A needle is inserted into the area and filled with a contrast dye. The doctor will use the fluoroscope to see affected areas and to determine the needle is placed correctly.. A mix of anesthetic, normal saline, and anti-inflammatory medications are injected near the nerves to stop pain signals.. Nasal congestion and bloodshot droopy eyes are common side effects of this procedure. A tingling sensation may be felt in the arms. Side effects are usually gone after a couple of hours. If pain is relieved by the first injection more injections will be prescribed. Pain relief should ...

A stellate ganglion nerve block is an injection that numbs branches of nerves in your neck. This helps doctors find and treat a number of problems linked to the nerves. Treatment may require a series of injections.

The procedure:. (please refer to our Pre-procedure Instructions for specifics). Please arrive 20 minutes prior to your appointment on procedure day. Our nurses will start an IV if you are requesting sedation and take a pre-operative nurse assessment. All patients are taken to the procedure room on a hospital bed. Once in the procedure room you will be given sedation to help make you comfortable. A cold cleaning solution will be placed on your skin to help decrease chances of infection. The procedure site is then identified by your doctor under x-ray guidance. Typically this is done in your neck on the painfully affected side. Once the site is identified a shot of numbing medicine (typically bupivicaine) will be given to numb up the skin. This may feel like a bee sting, but will only last a few seconds. The spinal needle is then placed into the position using x-ray guidance. Dye is injected to confirm proper placement of the needle and spread of medication around the stellate ganglion. Medication ...

The vertebral artery usually runs ventrally to the seventh cervical transverse process and enters the foramen transversarium of the sixth cervical vertebra. However, it enters the foramen transversarium of the fifth cervical vertebra or higher in some people. In addition, tortuous vertebral arteries are more frequent on the left.46 These anatomical characteristics of the vertebral artery lead to speculate that SGB using the anterior paratracheal approach is more likely to puncture the vertebral artery, especially on the left.47 However, our analyses revealed that patients who developed RPH after SGB showed no laterality or any apparent difference between SGBs aiming at C6 and those aiming at C7. Many patients developed RPH after SGB despite having a negative aspiration test for blood before SGB. In addition, surgical and autopsy findings in the patients with RPH after SGB showed that there was no injury to the vertebral artery, but rather bleeding from arterioles.6,22 These findings, in ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - In vitro and in vivo evidence of neurotensin release from preganglionic axon terminals in the stellate ganglion of the cat. AU - Maher, E.. AU - Bachoo, B.. AU - Polosa, C.. PY - 1994/3/21. Y1 - 1994/3/21. N2 - We have previously shown that the neurotensin (NT) store in preganglionic axon terminals of the cat stellate ganglion (SG) is reversibly depleted by prolonged preganglionic stimulation. The present study addresses the questions of whether the preganglionic axon terminals release NT in response to depolarizing stimuli in vitro and whether in vivo NT is released by the tonic firing of the sympathetic preganglionic neurons. Slices of the SG of the anaesthetized cat, maintained in oxygenated Ringer solution, released NT. The efflux increased when the K concentration was increased from 5 to 25 or 45 mM or when veratridine was added to the medium. In Ca-free medium, efflux was suppressed. The effect of veratridine was blocked by tetrodotoxin (TTX). In awake, freely moving cats, ...

The experiments were performed on 9 cat and 18 rat isolated stellate ganglia. Rats and cats were anesthetized with alpha glucochloralose or urethane, respectively. The ganglia, isolated with their branches, were transferred to a recording chamber and constantly superfused with artificial extracellular fluid bubbled with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Branches of the ganglion were one by one placed in suction electrodes and stimulated. Antidromic evoked potentials were systematically recorded from numerous points on the ganglion surface. The area under the curve of the negative wave of each recorded potential was considered proportional to the number of neurons located in the vicinity of the recording electrode, projecting to the stimulated nerve. We have found that: (1) cardiac sympathetic neurons are located in the lower, caudal half of the ganglia; (2) vertebral sympathetic neurons occupy the cranial, upper half of the ganglia; (3) neurons with axons in the ansae are positioned near the point of exit of ...

OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that the attenuated heart rate (HR) response to sympathetic activation following swim training in the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) results from a peripheral modulation of pacemaking by nitric oxide (NO). METHODS: Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition on the increase in heart rate with sympathetic nerve stimulation (SNS) was investigated in the isolated guinea pig double atrial/right stellate ganglion preparation from exercise trained (6-weeks swimming, n=20) and sedentary animals (n=20). Western blot analysis for neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) was performed on the stellate ganglion from both groups. RESULTS: Relative to the control group, the exercise group demonstrated typical exercise adaptations of increased ventricular weight/body weight ratio, enhanced skeletal muscle citrate synthase activity and higher concentrations of [3H]ouabain binding sites in both skeletal and cardiac tissue (P|0.05). The increase in heart rate (bpm) with SNS significantly

Stellate Ganglion Block: The sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves throughout your body. The nerves branch from your spine. They control some body functions, such as closing of blood vessels. A problem with these nerves can affect blood flow and cause pain. Symptoms are often felt in the hands or feet. They may hurt, burn, feel cold, or be tender to the touch. This block is performed under X-ray guidance to determine if there is damage to the sympathetic nerve chain and if it is the source of the patients arm pain. This block may be used to diagnose the cause of pain and may also provide pain relief. A local anesthetic injection is given near the base of the neck on the affected side. [Learn More + Video].

A patient with prolonged QTc interval, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was studied. Her syncopal episodes were often precipitated by stress or unexpected stimuli. Neurological evaluation showed no abnormalities. Right and left stellate ganglion blockade and intravenous atropine, calcium gluconate, and digoxin did not shorten QTc-interval duration. Ventricular pacing and intravenous phenobarbital suppressed ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Sodium diphenylhydantoin (Dilantin Sodium®) produced QTc shortening and controlled ectopic rhythms. Neural influence on synchrony of ventricular repolarization may predispose to the paroxysmal arrhythmias associated with this syndrome. Central nervous and asymmetrical cardiac sympathetic nervous stimulation may produce an increase in temporal dispersion of repolarization and a prolonged refractory period, thus facilitating reentrant rhythms and tachyarrhythmias. Sodium diphenylhydantoin shortens repolarization and effective refractory period and ...

The involvement of dopaminergic mechanisms in modulating ganglionic transmission of the dog cardiac sympathetic ganglia were investigated in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. The positive chronotropic responses to preganglionic stellate stimulation were inhibited by R(+)SK&F38393 and talipexole administered directly to the ganglia through the artery, and the inhibitory effects were antagonized by pretreatment with R(+)SCH23390 and S(-)sulpiride, respectively. McN-A-343 and 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide given through the artery to reach the ganglia displayed dose-dependent positive chronotropic effects. The positive chronotropic effects were inhibited by (-)quinpirole and talipexole, but not by R(+)SK&F38393. The inhibitions were antagonized by S(-)sulpiride and tended to be antagonized by yohimbine. The acetylcholine output from the isolated stellate ganglia by preganglionic stimulation (5 Hz) was unaffected in the presence of (-)quinpirole and talipexole, but was ...

After gauging student feedback, Student Government Board has extinguished a resolution to support a tobacco-free campus.. At its weekly public meeting Wednesday night, SGB member Jack Heidecker made a motion to remove his tobacco-ban bill, a resolution that said SGB would support University efforts to make Pitt a tobacco-free campus. A committee consisting of students, faculty and staff, which Heidecker serves on, could still draw up a policy to make campus tobacco-free, but it wont have SGBs official backing.. After introducing the legislation last week, SGB posted a survey online asking for student feedback on the bill. About 750 students voted on the policy, which 50.02 percent favored and about 47 percent opposed.. Three percent voted that they were unsure whether they supported a tobacco-free policy.. It was basically split at that point, Heidecker said. The Board as a whole didnt feel comfortable voting on the resolution.. Heidecker, who authored the resolution and has made the ...

Results After 12 weeks of PVCs, LVEF (p = 0.006) and dP/dT (p = 0.007) decreased. Resting SNA (p = 0.002) and VNA (p = 0.04), exercise SNA (p = 0.01), SNA response to evoked PVCs (p = 0.005), heart rate (HR) at rest (p = 0.003), and exercise (p , 0.04) increased, whereas HR variability (HRV) decreased (p = 0.009). There was increased spontaneous atrial (p = 0.02) and ventricular arrhythmias (p = 0.03) in PVC-CM. Increased SNA preceded both atrial (p = 0.0003) and ventricular (p = 0.009) arrhythmia onset. Clonidine suppressed SNA and abolished all arrhythmias. After disabling PVC for 4 weeks, LVEF (p = 0.01), dP/dT (p = 0.047), and resting VNA (p = 0.03) recovered to baseline levels. However, SNA, resting HR, HRV, and atrial (p = 0.03) and ventricular (p = 0.03) proarrhythmia persisted. There was sympathetic hyperinnervation in stellate ganglia (p = 0.02) but not ventricles (p = 0.2) of PVC-CM and recovered animals versus sham controls. ...

It was thought that since amplified pain runs through the autonomic, or sympathetic nerves, that blocking or numbing these nerves would be beneficial. Typically, the reason given is to reduce pain to allow for more intense physical therapy. People have attempted this with guanethidine, reserpine, lumbar, axillary or stellate ganglion blocks. It was recognized early on that these do not have lasting effects and in 273 patients treated with sympathetic blockade only 7% had good or lasting results. A Cochrane systematic review was unable to determine if sympathetic blocks were effective and found little evidence to support them as standard of care in the treatment of CRPS. Sympathetic blocks for fibromyalgia have been done unsuccessfully. Sympathetic blocks have not been studied in children and have significant risks. One of my patients had her liver lacerated when they did a lumbar block and it had to be surgically repaired. Many prominent pediatric anesthesiologists no longer recommend ...

Location and numbers of neurons associated with sympathetic innervation of the heart within the right stellate and accessory cervical ganglia, the spinal cord, and spinal ganglia were investigated using horseradish peroxidase retrograde axonal transport techniques in cats. The enzyme was applied to central sections of the anastomosis of the stellate ganglion with the vagus nerve, the inferior cardiac nerve, and the vagosympathetic trunk caudal to the anastomosis. Labeled neurons within the stellate ganglion were located close to the point of departure of the nerves and more thinly distributed in the accessory cervical ganglion. A group of labeled cells was found in the anastomosis itself. Preganglionic neurons associated with sympathetic innervation of the heat were detected at segmental levels T1-T5 in the spinal cord. Labeled neurons were diffusely located in the spinal ganglia, concentrated mainly at levels T2-T4.

Evidence is presented which supports the theory that intracranial hemorrhage may secondarily cause myocardial damage and cardiac arrhythmias.. Fatal intracranial hemorrhage occasionally is accompanied by ECG changes which are consistent with myocardial infarction; histological examination of the heart revealed a variable amount of myocardial damage. After intracranial hemorrhage in animals, myocardial damage was frequent. Similar myocardial damage was produced in animals by intravenous infusion of norepinephrine or acetylcholine and by electrical stimulation of the stellate ganglia, vagus nerve or mesencephalic reticular formation.. Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and various degrees of A-V block were reported in patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage. Similar cardiac arrhythmias were found in animals after intracranial hemorrhage, and with electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve, stellate ganglia or CNS centers. Available data suggest that increased or altered autonomic activity ...

A major player in teaching Neuromuscular Dentistry.. T.E.N.S. modalities are designated into three distinct categories based on technical parameters and physiologic action. (Mannheimer, J. Clinical Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. F.A. Davis, Philad., 1986).. A T.E.N.S. mode that uses high rate (50 to 100 Hz), asymmetrical biphasic wave (40-75 usec) is referred to as Conventional. High Frequency T.E.N.S. This mode is designed to selectively actuate the large myelinated afferent fibers. Muscle fasciculization is not apparent. Conventional high frequency T.E.N.S. is characterized by fast onset of relief, short therapeutic effect, generally not exceeding length of stimulation. There is little or no endogenous opiate liberation and no reversal by naloxone. The high frequency T.E.N.S. is primarily a local CNS (segmental effect)..

A sympathetic nerve block is a relatively safe procedure. You can usually go home afterward and return to your normal activities after a day of rest. If you had IV sedation, youll need to have someone drive you home.. Side effects after a sympathetic nerve block may include temporary soreness, bleeding, bruising, a feeling of warmth, or some weakness. If youve received a nerve block in the stellate ganglion, you may experience some temporary voice changes, eyelid droop, or difficulty swallowing. Until swallowing is back to normal, avoid large bites of food and sip liquids carefully.. Depending on the reason for the block, physical therapy, talk therapy, and pain medicine may all be part of your treatment as well. In most cases, you will be given a series of blocks to get the best possible response.. Sympathetic nerve blocks dont work for everyone. Also, the pain relief they give may lessen over time. But for some, a sympathetic nerve block may provide weeks or months of pain relief. ...

Postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers, which travel from the stellate ganglia along the arterial structures to the myocardium, are transected at cardiac transplantation, resulting in axonal degeneration and rapid depletion of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine from nerve terminals, and thus complete denervation.14 Because regrowth of nerve fibers takes time, it is not surprising that sympathetic reinnervation is observed more frequently later after transplantation. Interestingly, at multivariate analysis, time after transplantation was not an independent determinant of reinnervation in the present study. Reinnervation generally remains incomplete,1-6⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓ and some patients remained completely denervated even late after transplantation, which suggests the influence of other parameters. Molecular mechanisms underlying allograft reinnervation are poorly understood. Although they cannot be clarified in detail from the present study, identification of some additional clinical ...

Electrical stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), referred to here as ganglionic field stimulation (GFS), is effective in reducing clinical pain, probably by interrupting transmission of afferent impulse trains on sensory neurons as they pass through the DRG.. Dorsal root ganglion stimulation Much like SCS, DRG stimulation interrupts the pain messages your nerves send out, but its even more precise. With SCS, the electrode is placed in a posterior part of the spinal cords epidural space.. Chronic hyperglycemia results in a predominantly sensory neuropathy. Recent studies suggest that dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons comprise a specific target and may be responsible for the important complication of diabetic sensory neuropathy, since The dorsal root ganglion nestles within the bones of the spine which should give it protection from damage. The dorsal root ganglion contains the nucleus, or control centre, of the nerve and this nucleus manufactures the various sensors and sends them ...

High levels of sympathetic drive in several cardiovascular diseases including postmyocardial infarction, chronic congestive heart failure and hypertension are reinforced through dysregulation of afferent input and central integration of autonomic balance. However, recent evidence suggests that a significant component of sympathetic hyperactivity may also reside peripherally at the level of the postganglionic neuron. This has been studied in depth using the spontaneously hypertensive rat, an animal model of genetic essential hypertension, where larger neuronal calcium transients, increased release and impaired reuptake of norepinephrine in neurons of the stellate ganglia lead to a significant tachycardia even before hypertension has developed. The release of additional sympathetic cotransmitters during high levels of sympathetic drive can also have deleterious consequences for peripheral cardiac parasympathetic neurotransmission even in the presence of β-adrenergic blockade. Stimulation of the cardiac

Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil has been shown to be beneficial to underweight neonates. However, it is difficult for them to consume adequate amounts without vomiting. The oil has been shown to absorb well through neonate skin, and massage with the oil has been shown to improve growth and development of newborns. Moderate massage pressure has been shown to be best.. The present study was about newborn weight gain with MCT oil. The patients were all newborns under 28 days of age. There were 121 patients in 3 different groups: (1) MCT oil massage group. (2) Dry massage group. (3) Control group. The patients were all weighed at 8:00 AM daily. The MCT massage group was massaged for 5 minutes 4 times daily for one week. The body below the neck was massaged with MCT at 10 cc/kg body weight per day. Group 2 was massaged with the same technique without the oil, and the control group was not massaged.. Vagal nerve* activity is enhanced by massage, and neonates who have more vagal nerve activity are ...

From the organizational perspective, the most important issue for SIGGROUP is a re-establishment of the SIGGROUP board and catching up on the SIGGROUP Bulletin. In the spring SGB meeting, SGB Board named officers to fill vacant positions, Wolfgang Prinz to Chair, Mark Pendergast to Vice Chair, and Erling Havn to Treasurer. Elections cannot be held until back issues of the Bulletin are caught up. Three issues of the bulletin have been submitted for publication this year, and key members have been solicited to act as editors of special editions of the bulletin. To date, three proposals for special issue have been accepted. It is hoped that this will help catch up back issues and encourage submissions for future issues.. From the technological viewpoint, the emergence of new technologies like peer-to-peer computing, web services and semantic web will gain a significant influence on the development of future CSCW/groupware systems. Furthermore the combination of collaboration platforms with mobile, ...

Other experts cautioned that more research is needed - with a sample size of two, Id hope so. Although the ABCnews.com report states the study was placebo controlled, the abstract of the journal article says both subjects got SGB and reported relief. (maybe theres a different study ABC news if referring to, but Im not seeing it.) ...
