Severe cast burn after bunionectomy in a patient who received peripheral nerve blocks for postoperative analgesia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although regional anesthesia offers advantages for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief, it is not possible without complications. A case of a significant burn injury after splint placement is described after a peripheral nerve block was performed for postoperative pain management. It is our hope that this case alerts physicians and others involved in the management of postoperative patients to the challenges of managing a blocked extremity after thermal cast placement and offers solutions that can be standardized.

Peripheral nerve blocks improve analgesia after total knee replacement surgery.
UNLABELLED Total knee replacement (TKR) produces severe postoperative pain. Peripheral nerve blocks can be used as analgesic adjuncts for TKR, but the efficacy of femoral nerve blocks alone is controversial. The sciatic nerve innervates posterior regions of the knee; thus, performance of both sciatic and femoral nerve blocks may be necessary to improve analgesia after TKR. We performed this stu...

Background: Post operative pain is one of the most common complains in surgery wards especially in orthopedics surgery. Analgesic methods vary and include intravenous, regional (by peripheral nerve block) and epidural. In this study, we evaluated two methods of Patient Controlled Anesthesia (PCA) i.e. intravenously (Patient Controlled Intravenous Analgesia-PCIA) with Morphine 0.2% and regio...

BACKGROUND The PROSPECT (Procedure-Specific Postoperative Pain Management) Group recommended a single injection femoral nerve block in 2008 as a guideline for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty. Other authors have recommended the addition of sciatic and obturator nerve blocks. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is also involved in pain syndrome following total knee arthroplasty. We hypoth...

متن کاملPostoperative analgesia for the surgical correction of congenital clubfoot: comparison between peripheral nerve block and caudal epidural block.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Correction of congenital clubfoot (CCF) is associated with severe postoperative pain. Caudal epidural block associated with general anesthesia is the anesthetic technique used more often in children, but it is limited by the short duration of the postoperative analgesia. Peripheral nerve blocks are associated with a low incidence of complications and prolonged analgesi...
