Combined Saphenous-Sciatic Nerve Blockade Superior to Femoral-Sciatic Nerve Blockade for Postoperative Analgesia Following Foot and Ankle Surgery
(Journal of Anesthesia & Critical Care: Open Access, 2015-10-29)
Introduction: Femoral nerve blockade combined with sciatic nerve blockade
has been reported to be an effective treatment regimen for postoperative
analgesia following lower extremity surgery.Saphenous nerve blockade is
an alternative to femoral nerve blockade for postoperative analgesia in knee
arthroplasty surgeryand the ...
Clinical and functional outcomes of acute lower extremity compartment syndrome at a Major Trauma Hospital
(International Journal of Critical Illness and Injury Science | Published by Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2016-09)
Background: Acute lower extremity compartment syndrome (CS) is a condition that
untreated causes irreversible nerve and muscle ischemia. Treatment by decompression
fasciotomy without delay prevents permanent disability. The use of intracompartmental
pressure (iCP) measurement in uncertain situations aids in diagnosis of ...
Psychological pain treatment in fibromyalgia syndrome: efficacy of operant behavioural and cognitive behavioural treatments
(2006)
The present study focused on the evaluation of the effects of operant behavioural (OBT) and cognitive behavioural (CBT) treatments for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). One hundred and twenty-five patients who fulfilled the American College of
Rheumatology criteria for FMS were randomly assigned to OBT (n = 43), CBT (n = 42), or ...
Differences in analgesia in opioid naïve and tolerant patients with sciatic nerve blockade following elective foot and ankle surgery
(the Science Fair Open Library, 9/24/2014)
1.1 Introduction and Purpose: Adequate postoperative analgesia in the opioid tolerant with chronic non-malignant pain is challenging. Multimodal pain relief regimens include regional anesthesia but opioid tolerant patients report increased postoperative pain and opioid consumption. This study compared analgesia in opioid naïve ...
Ultrasound Guided lateral Infra-trochanteric Sciatic Nerve Blockade for Proximal Tibial Surgery: A Novel Technique
(, 9/1/2011)
Sciatic nerve blockade (SNB) can be performed at several point along its anatomic course. Proximal SNB techniques described include the classic Labat, sacral (Mansur), infragluteal (Raj), and anterior approches Distal SNB techniques include the mid-femoral, posterior and lateral popliteal and mid-tibial approaches. The anatomic ...
Abstract Title: Ultrasound Guided Trans-sartorial Continuous Saphenous Nerve Blockade - A technique for Relief of Postoperative Medial Incisional Foot and Ankle Pain
(, 1/1/2009)
The saphenous nerve (SaN) innervates the region from the upper medial thigh to the medial aspect of the foot and ankle. A femoral nerve block (FNB) is effective for blockade of the SaN but this causes quadriceps weekness and reduced patient mobility that is unsuitable in an ambulatory surgical setting.
Regional Anesthesia in TraumaMedicine
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
Regional anesthesia is an established method to provide analgesia for patients in the operating room and during the postoperative phase. While regional anesthesia offers unique advantages, as shown by the recent military experience, it is not commonly utilized in the prehospital or emergency department setting. Most often, ...
Comparison of Analgesic Outcomes Following Sciatic Nerve Blockade Performed by Resident Trainees and Nurse Anesthetists
(MedCrave, 8/6/2015)
Background and objectives: Peripheral nerve blockade requires regional anesthesia skills that are taught in several formats and assessing technical proficiency has shifted from fulfillment of quotas to comprehensive procedural evaluation. Complete analgesia is the clinical endpoint validating successful nerve blockade but ...
Post-Operative Pain Scores and Level of Regional Anesthesia Expertise: Using Clinical Outcomes to Assess Procedural Proficiency
(Austin Publishing Group, 12/3/2014)
Background and Objectives: Peripheral nerve blockade requires regional anesthesia skills that trainees learn in several formats. Technical proficiency has shifted from a quota to comprehensive procedural evaluation. Successful nerve blockade is the clinical endpoint validating proficiency but patient, technical and procedural ...
Ultrasound Mapping of Nerve Stimulator Response during Sciatic Nerve Blockade and Relation to Postoperative Pain Scores
(Science Fair Open Library, 9/24/2014)
1.1 Background and Purpose: Ultrasound guided sciatic nerve blockade has rapid onset but at 24 hours pain is greater than nerve stimulator techniques. Injection of the nerve branches or trunk and sub-sheath blockade increase success and reduce onset times but risk injury. This study mapped needle coordinates for sciatic nerve ...
