Class EpiduralEvent

This class contains information concerning the injection of anesthesia into the epidural space of the spine.

Attributes
«CS» Code	adminMethod	Categorizes the method of administration of the anesthetic agent. Possible values include: Bolus; Intermittent; Drip Infusion. [FileMan 130,.37->130.06,36]
«CS» Code	baricity	"Baricity refers to the density of a substance compared to the density of human cerebrospinal fluid. Baricity is used in anesthesia to determine the manner in which a particular drug will spread in the intrathecal space. Hyperbaric solutions will flow in the direction of gravity and settle in the most dependent areas of the intrathecal space. Conversely, hypobaric mixtures will rise in relation to gravitational pull. These properties allow the anesthesia provider to preferentially control the spread of the block by choice of mixture and patient positioning." - wikipedia Categorizes the baricity of the anesthesia drug fluid vehicle in relationship to the spinal fluid. Possible values include: Hyperbaric; Hypobaric; and Isobaric. [FileMan 130,.37->130.06,26]
