Comparative study between ultrasound guided tap block and paravertebral block in upper abdominal surgeries. Randomized controlled trial

Comparison of Ultrasound with Peripheral Nerve Stimulator-guided Technique for Supraclavicular Block in Upper Limb Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background The supraclavicular approach is considered to be the easiest and most effective approach to block the brachial plexus for upper limb surgeries. The classical approach using the anatomical landmark technique was associated with higher failure rates and complications. Ultrasonography (USG) guidance and peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) have improved the success rates and safety margin....

Comparison between Conventional and Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Upper Limb Surgeries

INTRODUCTION Brachial plexus blockade is a time-tested technique for upper limb surgeries. The classical approach using paresthesia technique is a blind technique and may be associated with a higher failure rate and injury to the nerves and surrounding structures. To avoid some of these problems, use of peripheral nerve stimulator and ultrasound techniques were started which allowed better loca...

Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.

Comparison between Perivascular and Perineural Ultrasound-guided Axillary Nerve Block for Forearm Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Study

Introduction: Brachial plexus block has evolved in procedures for upper limb surgeries when William Halsted performed it for the first time in 1884. Brachial plexus is formed by anterior primary rami of C5 to C8 and T1 nerves which emerge from intervertebral foramina. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare ultrasound-guided perivascular (PV) and perineural (PN) axillary nerve blo...

Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided paravertebral block versus serratus plane block for modified radical mastectomy: A randomised, controlled trial

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) may be associated with severe post-operative pain, leading to chronic pain syndrome. We compared the post-operative analgesic profile of two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks: Paravertebral block (PVB) and serratus plane block (SPB). METHODS This double-blind, randomised study was conducted on fifty adult females, scheduled for MRM with axill...
