Postoperative analgesia following brachial plexus block.
The time from the end of surgery to the administration of the first post-operative analgesic has been measured in 86 patients following brachial plexus block with bupivacaine, lignocaine, nepivacaine or prilocaine. A signficant increase in time occurred with bupivacaine; the combination of regional and general anesthesia significantly increased the time when compared with general anaesthesia in...
متن کاملPostoperative analgesia comparing levobupivacaine and ropivacaine for brachial plexus block
BACKGROUND On a pharmacologic basis, levobupivacaine is expected to last longer than ropivacaine. However, most reports of these anesthetics for brachial plexus block do not suggest a difference in analgesic effect. The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of levobupivacaine and ropivacaine when used for treating ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block. METHODS ...
متن کاملHypertensive emergency as a complication of brachial plexus block.
The authors report a case of hypertensive emergency (defined as systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure >110 mm Hg with end organ damage) following brachial plexus blockade in a hypertensive lady with unstable angina. The authors describe blocking of baroreceptor reflexes by the local anaesthetic as a putative mechanism and suggest that this potentially serious complicat...
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...
متن کاملDoes the addition of morphine to brachial plexus block improve analgesia after shoulder surgery?
We have studied 40 patients undergoing elective shoulder surgery for chronically painful conditions. Patients were allocated randomly to two groups and received interscalene brachial plexus block with 0.5% bupivacaine and adrenaline 1/200,000 40 ml either alone or with the addition of morphine 5 mg. All patients also received a general anaesthetic. The quality of the block, analgesic requiremen...
