(About Ads) Epidural local anes: GI effect GI effects of neuraxial anesthesia are largely result of sympathectomy. Abdominal organs derive sympathetic innervation from T6-L2. Blockade of these fibers results in unopposed parasympathetic activity [CN X]. Secretions increase, sphincters relax, and the bowel becomes constricted. Nausea is common complication of neuraxial anesthesia. [Barash 6E p947]
