Comparison of three different volumes of mepivacaine in axillary plexus block using multiple nerve stimulation.
BACKGROUND The multiple injection technique for axillary block, in which the four distal nerves of the plexus are located by a nerve stimulator and separately injected, has been shown to provide a high success rate and a short onset time. This randomized double-blind study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of three different volumes of mepivacaine 10 mg x ml(-1) in patients undergoing ...
متن کاملDifferent Learning Curves for Axillary Brachial Plexus Block: Ultrasound Guidance versus Nerve Stimulation
Little is known about the learning of the skills needed to perform ultrasound- or nerve stimulator-guided peripheral nerve blocks. The aim of this study was to compare the learning curves of residents trained in ultrasound guidance versus residents trained in nerve stimulation for axillary brachial plexus block. Ten residents with no previous experience with using ultrasound received ultrasound...
متن کاملA prospective, randomized comparison between ultrasound and nerve stimulation guidance for multiple injection axillary brachial plexus block.
BACKGROUND This prospective, randomized, blinded study tested the hypothesis that ultrasound guidance can shorten the onset time of axillary brachial plexus block as compared with nerve stimulation guidance when using a multiple injection technique. METHODS Sixty American Society of Anesthesiology physical status I-III patients receiving axillary brachial plexus block with 20 ml ropivacaine, ...
متن کاملA Comparison of 2% Lidocaine and Epinephrine with 3% Mepivacaine in Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block
The purpose of this study was evaluation of anesthesia success rate of 3% mepivacaine compared with 2% lidocaine 1/80000 epinephrine in inferior alveolar nerve block in thirty voluntary students. All of the subjects were healthy and had not received any medicament. They pariticipated for two appointments and each time randomly received an inferior alveolar nerve injection with one of the anesth...
متن کاملAxillary Brachial Plexus Block
The axillary approach to brachial plexus blockade provides satisfactory anaesthesia for elbow, forearm, and hand surgery and also provides reliable cutaneous anaesthesia of the inner upper arm including the medial cutaneous nerve of arm and intercostobrachial nerve, areas often missed with other approaches. In addition, the axillary approach remains the safest of the four main options, as it do...
