Should we stop doing blind transversus abdominis plane blocks?
BACKGROUND Any landmark-based regional anaesthetic technique raises two important issues. The first is the accuracy of placement of the needle and thus the local anaesthetic in a 'blind' technique and the second is the potential for damage to adjacent structures. We designed a prospective, blinded study in an adult general surgical population to evaluate with ultrasound the placement of the nee...
متن کاملCost-efficiency Analysis of USG-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks
Detrimental effects of poorly controlled acute pain after abdominal surgery range from patient suffering, distress, respiratory complications, delirium, myocardial ischaemia, prolonged hospital stay and an increased likelihood of chronic pain. Traditionally, patients undergoing major abdominal surgery have received systemic drugs, such as opioids, ketamine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ...
متن کاملTransient Femoral Nerve Palsy Complicating “Blind” Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
We present two cases of patients who reported quadriceps femoris weakness and hypoesthesia over the anterior thigh after an inguinal hernia repair under transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. Transient femoral nerve palsy is the result of local anesthetic incorrectly injected between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia and pooling around the femoral nerve. Although it is a m...
متن کاملTransversus abdominis plane block anesthesia in abdominoplasties.
BACKGROUND The transversus abdominis plane block is a promising approach to the provision of postoperative analgesia following abdominal incision. This effective method blocks the sensory nerve supply to the anterior abdominal wall. The authors evaluated its analgesic efficacy over the first 12 postoperative hours after abdominoplasty with liposculpture in a randomized, controlled, double-blind...
