Axillary brachial plexus blockade for the reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome.
The reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) is a neurogenic pain syndrome that is characterized by pain, vasomotor and dystrohic changes and often motor impairments. Although the exact pathogenesis of RSD is unknown, for long the sympathetic nervous system was thought to play a dominant role and pharmacological and surgical sympathectomies have been a mainstay in treatment procedures. Howev...
متن کاملComparison of two neurostimulation techniques for axillary brachial plexus blockade.
This prospective, randomized, double-blind study compared two techniques of axillary brachial plexus block using a peripheral nerve stimulator. Both groups received initial musculocutaneous nerve block followed by either a single injection on median nerve stimulation (group 1) or a double injection divided between median and radial nerves (group 2). All 60 patients received a total of 30 ml of ...
متن کاملDexamethasone added to lidocaine prolongs axillary brachial plexus blockade.
Different additives have been used to prolong regional blockade. We designed a prospective, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone added to lidocaine on the onset and duration of axillary brachial plexus block. Sixty patients scheduled for elective hand and forearm surgery under axillary brachial plexus block were randomly allocated to receive either 34 mL lidoca...
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 کاملEffect of axillary brachial plexus blockade on baroreflex-induced skin vasomotor responses: assessing the effectiveness of sympathetic blockade.
BACKGROUND The combination of laser Doppler flowmetry and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring allows the continuous observation of cutaneous vascular resistance (CVR). Continuous recording of unmodulated skin blood flow (SBF) is very sensitive to artefacts, rendering the method unreliable. In contrast, intermittent short lasting challenges of the CVR by cardiovascular autonomic reflexes may ...
