Lidocaine use in ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block: what is the minimum effective anaesthetic concentration (MEAC90)?
BACKGROUND This study aimed to estimate the minimum effective anaesthetic concentrations of lidocaine required to block the femoral nerve under ultrasound (US) guidance in 90% (MEAC90) of patients. METHODS A minimum of 45 patients who had undergone knee arthroscopy were included in this observational study. All the patients received US-guided sciatic, obturator, and femoral nerve blocks. The ...
متن کاملMinimum effective volume of lidocaine for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the minimum effective volume of lidocaine 1.5% with epinephrine 5 μg/mL in 90% of patients (MEV(90)) for single-injection ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block (ICB). METHODS Using an in-plane technique, a single-injection ultrasound-guided ICB was performed: a 17-gauge, 8-cm Tuohy needle was advanced until the tip was located dorsal to the ...
متن کاملUltrasound guided posterior femoral cutaneous nerve block.
The posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) is a branch of the sacral plexus. It needs to be implemented as a complementary block for anesthesia or in the surgeries necessitating tourniquet in the suitable cases. We consider target oriented block concept within the PFCN block in the anesthesia implementations with the emergence of ultrasonic regional anesthesia in the practice and with the bet...
متن کاملUltrasound reduces the minimum effective local anaesthetic volume compared with peripheral nerve stimulation for interscalene block.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that lower local anaesthetic (LA) volumes can be used for ultrasound (US)-guided interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB). However, no study has examined whether US can reduce the volume required when compared with nerve stimulation (NS) for ISB. Our aim was to do this by comparing the minimum effective analgesic volumes (MEAVs). METHODS After eth...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block in Meralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia paresthetica is a rarely encountered sensory mononeuropathy characterized by paresthesia, pain or sensory impairment along the distribution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) caused by entrapment or compression of the nerve as it crossed the anterior superior iliac spine and runs beneath the inguinal ligament. There is great variability regarding the area where the nerve pie...
