axillary nerve block in comparison with intravenous midazolam/fentanyl for painless reduction of upper extremity fractures.

Nerve Stimulator Guided Axillary Block in Painless Reduction of Distal Radius Fractures; a Randomized Clinical Trial

INTRODUCTION Given the high prevalence of upper extremity fractures and increasing need to perform painless reduction in the emergency departments, the use of analgesic methods with fewer complications and more satisfaction appears to be essential. The aim of this study is comparison the nerve stimulator guided axillary block (NSAB) with intravenous sedation in induction of analgesia for painle...

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...

Pediatric upper-extremity fractures.

Upper-extremity fractures account for more than half of childhood bony injuries. The frequency of injury increases with increasing mobility. The most common mechanism is a fall on an outstretched hand while playing. Optimal management requires knowledge of the normal anatomy and variants unique to pediatric bones. The physician needs to maintain a high level of suspicion for growth plate injuri...

Importance of the Upper Extremity Position for a Safe and Effective Axillary Block: a Comparative Study.

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to determine the ideal position of upper extremities during ultrasonography guidance for axillary block. The position that provides the shortest distance between the median and musculocutaneous nerves was assumed to be the most appropriate position for axillary block. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 120 (45 female and 75 male) patients were placed in a position wi...

Upper Extremity Nerve Blocks

Upper Extremity Peripheral Nerve Anatomy

7 The nerve anatomy of the upper extremity is studied constantly through surgical findings, electrodiagnostic studies, and cadaveric dissections. Although it is recognized that the anatomy is not changing rapidly, knowledge of the anatomic relationships and their significance is increasing. The purpose of the current study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nerve anatomy of the upper...
