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 ...
Postoperative Analgesia Following Sciatic Nerve Blockade Administered by Nurse Anesthetists Supervised by Regional Anesthesia Faculty in an Academic Hospital
(British Journal of Medicine & Medical Research, 2015-08-23)
Introduction: Assessment of expertise in regional anesthesia techniques is traditionally based
upon quota fulfillment of procedures during training. Validation of practitioner proficiency in
performing procedures in surgical specialties has moved from simple measurement of technical
skills to evaluation of global patient ...
Post-Operative Pain Scores and Level of Regional Anesthesia Expertise: Using Clinical Outcomes to Assess Procedural Proficiency
(Austin Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2014-12-03)
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 ...
Patient Variability in Sciatic Nerve Branch Point Distance Using Ultrasound Guided Localization
(Austin Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2014-07-01)
Background and Objectives: Improved ultrasound and needle technology
make popliteal sciatic nerve blockade a popular anesthetic technique and
imaging to localize the branch point of the common peroneal and posterior tibial
components is important because successful blockade techniques vary with
respect to injection of the ...
MEDIAL TECHNIQUE FOR COMBINED POPLITEAL SCIATIC AND SAPHENOUS NERVE BLOCKADE
(Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2012-09)
Background and aims: Combined popliteal sciatic and saphenous nerve
blockade for lower extremity anesthesia is a widely accepted practice. Combined
sciatic and saphenous nerve blockade under ultrasound guidance from
the medial approach is described. This technique is performed faster than
the two injection technique, does ...
Prolonged Duration of Sciatic Nerve Blockade in the Elderly after Foot and Ankle Surgery
(International Archives of Clinical Anesthesia Research, 2014-09-24)
1.1 Background and Objectives: Perioperative morbidity
related to anesthesia renders elderly patients vulnerable because
age related factors affect medication effects, clearance
and metabolism. Regional anesthesia within a multimodal
regimen reduces opioid adverse effects in the elderly and improves
immediate analgesia ...
Ultrasound Guided Lateral Infra-trochanteric Sciatic Nerve Blockade for Proximal Tibial Surgery: A Novel Technique
(Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2011)
The lateral infratrochanteric SNB provides anesthesia of the proximal tibial structures innervated by the sciatic nerve to the same degree as other proximal SNB techniques, therefore it is suitable for the anesthesia for near the knee surgeries.
It does not require any special patient positioning as other proximal SNB ...
Ultrasound Mapping of Nerve Stimulator Response during Sciatic Nerve Blockade and Relation to Postoperative Pain Scores
(International Archives of Clinical Anesthesia Research, 2014-09-24)
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 ...
Inferior Hypogastric Plexus Block Affects Sacral Nerves and the Superior Hypogastric Plexus
(International Scholarly Research Network ISRN Anesthesiology, 2012-09-06)
Background. The inferior hypogastric plexus mediates pain sensation through the sympathetic chain for the lower abdominal and
pelvic viscera and is thought to be a major structure involved in numerous pelvic and perineal pain syndromes and conditions.
Objectives. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the structures ...
Ultrasound Mapping of Stimulated Finger Flexion During Infra-Clavicular Brachial Plexus Nerve Blockade for Elbow Arthroplasty and Its Correlation To Postoperative Analgesia
(International Journal of Anesthesiology & Research, 2015)
Background: Infraclavicular brachial plexus nerve blockade (ICNB) is a very common anesthetic procedure performed for
upper extremity surgery at the elbow and distally, however the rate of adequate analgesia is variable among patients. Ultrasound
guidance (US) has not been demonstrated to increase the success rate of ICNB ...
