OBTURATOR NERVE BLOCK WITH SUB ARACHANOID BLOCK FOR A CASE OF COPD WITH COR PULMONALE UNDERGOING TURP AND TURBT

comparison of endotracheal intubation with nerve block and intravenous injection

Introduction: As endotracheal intubation is the first action which must be done for serious and very ill patients , so any procrastination leads to dangerous consequences including aspiration and finally death. Routine method for endotracheal intubation is injection of intravascular diazepam- Pethidine and sometimes muscle relaxants , but these drugs in Patients with GCS under 7 cause more decr...

A Comparison of 2% Lidocaine and Epinephrine with 3% Mepivacaine in Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block

The purpose of this study was evaluation of anesthesia success rate of 3% mepivacaine compared with 2% lidocaine 1/80000 epinephrine in inferior alveolar nerve block in thirty voluntary students. All of the subjects were healthy and had not received any medicament. They pariticipated for two appointments and each time randomly received an inferior alveolar nerve injection with one of the anesth...

Sonographic imaging of the obturator nerve for regional block.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Today, there is a growing appreciation of the importance of the obturator nerve in clinical anesthesia. The aim of this study is to describe the ultrasound appearance of the obturator nerve for potential utility in guiding these nerve blocks. METHODS We scanned left and right inguinal regions of 20 volunteers lateral and distal to the pubic tubercle (PT) and assessed...

Comparison of the success rate of inguinal approach with classical pubic approach for obturator nerve block in patients undergoing TURB

BACKGROUND During transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURB) under spinal anesthesia, electrical resection of the lateral wall mass may cause violent adductor contraction and possible inadvertent bladder perforation. Therefore, obturator nerve block (ONB) is mandatory after spinal anesthesia to avoid adductor muscle contraction. We compared the success rate and efficacy of an inguinal app...
