Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block.
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve blocks are almost always performed as blind procedures. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of seeing individual nerves of the brachial plexus and directing the block needle to these nerves with real time imaging. METHODS Using ultrasound guidance, infraclavicular brachial plexus block was performed in 126 patients. Important aspects of this stand...
متن کاملDexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block
Background: Alpha-2 agonists are added to local anesthetic agents to extend the duration of peripheral nerve blocks. Objective: We evaluated the effect of combining dexmedetomidine with levobupivacine with respect to duration of motor and sensory block and duration of analgesia. Material and Methods: Sixty patients of ASA grade I or II aged between 18-60 years, posted for elective upper limb su...
متن کاملComparison of Magnesium Sulfate and Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to 0.5% Ropivacaine in Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block
Background Magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine were used as adjuvants to local anesthesia to improve the quality of regional anesthesia. Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine when added to ropivacaine on the quality of infraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB). Settings and Design This was a prospective randomized doub...
متن کاملComparison of dexmedetomidine and epinephrine as an adjuvant to 1% mepivacaine in brachial plexus block
BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine extends the duration of nerve block when administered perineurally together with local anesthetics by central and/or peripheral action. In this study, we compared the duration of nerve block between dexmedetomidine and epinephrine as an adjuvant to 1% mepivacaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus block. METHODS Thirty patients, scheduled for upper limb surgery were...
متن کاملInfraclavicular brachial plexus block in Wilson's disease.
Wilson's disease (WD) is characterized by progressive copper accumulation with hepatic and neurological impairment. Anesthesia and surgical practices may exacerbate WD and liver damage, and even cause life-threatening liver failure. Due to this existing liver damage, anesthetic management is important in WD cases in terms of drug choice, dose, and technique used. This study reports an emergency...
