REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Comparison of subgluteal sciatic nerve block duration in type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients

چکیده
Editor’s key points † Animal models of diabetes show reduced onset and increased duration of peripheral nerve blocks. † This study aimed to evaluate the difference in block properties between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. † Using careful evaluation of sensory dysfunction, diabetic patients were found to have a prolonged duration of a sciatic nerve block. † Further study of the mechanisms of this longer action in diabetic patients is needed. Background. Although animal studies demonstrated delayed recovery after nerve block in laboratory models of diabetes, the duration of the action of sciatic nerve blocks clinically in patients with diabetes remains to be determined. We studied the duration of a sciatic nerve block in type 2 diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic patients.

Comparison of subgluteal sciatic nerve block duration in type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND Although animal studies demonstrated delayed recovery after nerve block in laboratory models of diabetes, the duration of the action of sciatic nerve blocks clinically in patients with diabetes remains to be determined. We studied the duration of a sciatic nerve block in type 2 diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic patients. METHODS We prospectively included consecutive pati...
متن کاملRegional anaesthesia.
Sciatic nerve block is frequently used for anaesthesia or analgesia during orthopaedic foot surgery and there are several different approaches to the sciatic nerve. This report describes a new approach to the sciatic nerve using ultrasound. Local anesthetic was injected into the ‘subgluteal space’ under ultrasound guidance which was effective in producing sciatic nerve block in a small series o...
متن کاملEffects of early and late diabetic neuropathy on sciatic nerve block duration and neurotoxicity in Zucker diabetic fatty rats.
BACKGROUND The neuropathy of type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing in prevalence worldwide. We aimed to test the hypothesis that in a rodent model of type II DM, neuropathy would lead to increased neurotoxicity and block duration after lidocaine-induced sciatic nerve block when compared with control animals. METHODS Experiments were carried out in Zucker diabetic fatty rats aged 10 wee...
متن کاملA subgluteal approach to the sciatic nerve in adults at 10 cm from the midline.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In 2003 we introduced the concept of a sciatic nerve block performed in the midgluteal area at a fixed distance from the midline in all adults regardless of gender and/or body size. The anatomic basis for that study suggested that a subgluteal block could also be accomplished in a similar fashion. METHODS After informed consent, 20 patients were prospectively recruit...
متن کاملAnalgesic effect of perineural magnesium sulphate for sciatic nerve block for diabetic toe amputation: A randomized trial
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High concentrations of local anesthetics may be neurotoxic for diabetic patients. Additive perineural administration of magnesium was reported to decrease the consumption of local anesthetics for nerve block. It was hypothesized that MgSO4 added to dilute ropivacaine was equianalgesic to more concentrated ropivacaine for toe amputations in diabetic patients. METHODS ...
