متن کاملLate Local Anaesthetic Toxicity After Infraclavicular Block Procedure.
Local anaesthetic (LA) toxicity is the most fatal complication of peripheral nerve block techniques. Accidental intravascular application or use of doses above the safety range are the most common cause of toxicity. Bupivacaine is a long-acting LA frequently used for long procedures or those associated with significant post-procedural pain. Fatal central nervous system and cardiovascular system...
متن کاملEffects of increasing the dose of ropivacaine on vertical infraclavicular block using neurostimulation
BACKGROUND Use of an infraclavicular block is appropriate for surgery of the upper limb. However, it does not consistently block the entire brachial plexus. The aim of this study was to investigate whether increasing the dose of ropivacaine could enhance the success rate, onset time, and efficacy of the sensory and motor block during the use of a vertical infraclavicular block using neurostimul...
متن کاملConvulsions after the administration of high dose ropivacaine following an interscalenic block.
To the Editor: We report the unintentional administration of 400 mg ropivacaine during an interscalenic block in a patient suffering from hemolytic-uremic syndrome and epilepsy. The patient was scheduled for the creation of an arterio-venous fistula of the left forearm. The interscalenic block was performed with a neurostimulator and 400 mg ropivacaine (6.15 mg·kg–1), instead of the intended 20...
متن کاملRopivacaine-induced cardiac arrest after peripheral nerve block: successful resuscitation.
ROPIVACAINE is an amide local anesthetic with a long duration of action that was developed because of the high risk of cardiac complications induced by bupivacaine. Preclinical studies have confirmed its reduced systemic and cardiac toxicity as compared with bupivacaine, and clinical studies have also been very reassuring regarding the risk of ropivacaine-induced systemic toxicity. There have, ...
