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 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-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...
متن کاملDeep venous thrombosis revealed during ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block.
Ultrasound imaging used to facilitate performance of a femoral nerve block also affords imaging of adjacent anatomical structures. Following a fracture of the femur, an ultrasound guided femoral nerve block (UGFNB) was performed to provide analgesia; this led to the incidental finding of a previously undiagnosed femoral vein thrombosis (DVT), resulting in a change in patient management before s...
متن کاملnerve stimulator versus ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block; a randomized clinical trial
introduction: pain control is the most important issue in emergency department management of patients with femoral bone fractures. the present study aimed to compare the procedural features of ultrasonography and nerve stimulator guided femoral nerve block in this regard. method: in this randomized clinical trial, patients with proximal femoral fractures presenting to emergency department were ...
