Efficacy of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block: a comparative study with nerve stimulator-guided method.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of axillary brachial plexus block using an ultrasound-guided method with the nerve stimulator-guided method. We also compared the efficacy of ultrasound-guided single-injection with those of double-injection for the quality of the block. METHODS Ninety patients scheduled for surgery of the forearm or hand were randomly allocated int...
متن کاملIntermediate cervical plexus block for carotid endarterectomy in high risk patients
Background and Purpose: Regional anesthesia is the choice for patients undergoing preventive open carotid surgery. Recently intermediate cervical plexus block has been described as a reliable and safe anesthesia technique in comparison with superficial and deep cervical plexus block. The aim of our study was to assess the complications of intermediate cervical plexus block in high risk patients...
متن کاملRemifentanil or propofol for sedation during carotid endarterectomy under cervical plexus block.
BACKGROUND During carotid endarterectomy under regional anaesthesia, patients often require medication to control haemodynamic instability and to provide sedation and analgesia. Propofol and remifentanil are used for this purpose. However, the benefits, side-effects, and optimal dose of these drugs in such patients are unclear. METHODS Sixty patients were included in a prospective, randomized...
متن کاملProspective, randomized comparison of deep or superficial cervical plexus block for carotid endarterectomy surgery.
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy may be performed under cervical plexus block with local anesthetic supplementation by the surgeon as necessary during surgery. It is unclear, however, whether deep or superficial cervical plexus block offers the best operating conditions or patient satisfaction. Therefore, the authors compared the two in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. METHODS For...
متن کاملRole of positioning posterior cord on coracoid approach brachial plexus block guided by nerve stimulator
BACKGROUND Coracoid approach is efficient and safe for brachial plexus block, and is guided by nerve stimulator or ultrasound in general. Many trials have proved that ultrasonic guidance was more efficacious than nerve stimulator guidance. We hypothesized that positioning posterior cord could enhance the anesthesia effect of coracoid approach brachial plexus block (CABPB) guided by nerve stimul...
