| EDH | epidural hematoma |

| epidural cavity | The space between the walls of the vertebral canal and the dura mater of the spinal cord. Synonym: cavum epidurale, epidural space. (05 Mar 2000) |

| epidural haematoma | A serious type of head injury that is characterised by a collection of blood that lies outside of the dura mater (between the dura mater and the skull). Occurs secondary to major head trauma. The most common location on the skull for this type of injury is over the temple. The temporal bone when fractured can cause a tearing of an epidural blood artery. The progressive accumulation of blood (haematoma) in the epidural space leads to the development of neurologic symptoms and coma. Treatment includes surgical evacuation of the haematoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidural meningitis | Inflammation of the outer surface of the dura mater. Synonym: epidural meningitis, external meningitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidural neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the epidural space, at or above the dura mater of the spinal cord. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidural space | Space between the dura mater and the walls of the vertebral canal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fractional epidural anaesthesia | Insertion of a catheter into the lumbar or caudal epidural space for the repeated injection of local anaesthetic solutions as a means of prolonging duration of anaesthesia. Synonym: fractional epidural anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthetics, combined | The use of two or more chemicals simultaneously or sequentially to induce anaesthesia. The drugs need not be in the same dosage form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibiotics, combined | Combination of antibiotics used against difficult-to-treat infections. Antibiotic combinations have been used mainly to broaden the antibacterial spectrum and prevent development of resistance. In some instances these combinations have shown lower toxicity, but drug antagonism may be one of the problems encountered by their use. They may be given simultaneously or sequentially. The drugs need not be in the same dosage form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antineoplastic agent, combined | The use of two or more chemicals simultaneously or sequentially in the drug therapy of neoplasms. The drugs need not be in the same dosage form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaccines, combined | Two or more vaccines in a single dosage form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| combined cycle | Two or more generation processes in series or in parallel, configured to optimise the energy output of the system. (05 Dec 1998) |
| combined-cycle power plant | The combination of a gas turbine and a steam turbine in an electric generation plant. The waste heat from the gas turbine provides the heat energy for the steam turbine. (05 Dec 1998) |
| combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by increased plasma levels of chylomicrons, VLDL, pre-beta-lipoproteins, and triglycerides, and slight rise of cholesterol on a normal diet, with beta-lipoproteins normal; may be accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, susceptibility to atherosclerosis, and abnormal glucose tolerance; probably autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia with hyperprebetalipoproteinaemia, mixed hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| combined glaucoma | Glaucoma with angle-closure and open-angle mechanisms in the same eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| combined heat and power | An older term for what is now generally called cogeneration. The term is currently used in Europe and other foreign countries. (05 Dec 1998) |
