Intercostal nerve block: spread of india ink injected to the rib's costal groove.
نویسنده
چکیده
Three and five millilitre of india ink were injected bilaterally into the costal groove of the 9th or 10th ribs of 14 cadavers. The spread was observed and the costal groove of the rib injected was dissected, with the one above and one below. Nunn and Slavin's study (1980) of similar injections in two cadavers indicated that an injection of one costal groove blocked not only the intercostal nerve of that groove, but at least the one above and below it. The present study verified the author's previous report that only the intercostal nerve in the costal groove of the rib injected is anaesthetized.

Continuous intercostal nerve blockade. An anatomical study to elucidate its mode of action.
India ink was injected through extradural catheters placed in the posterior intercostal space in 12 cadavers undergoing autopsy and the subsequent spread of the India ink was assessed under direct vision. The ink spread subpleurally to reach a number of intercostal spaces and medially to reach the paravertebral space. It is concluded that analgesia extending over a number of dermatomes is achie...
متن کاملPosterior intercostal nerve block for pain relief after cholecystectomy. Anatomical basis and efficacy.
The human intercostal space has been studied by excision of the posterior part of the rib cage at autopsy, followed by fixation, decalcification, section and staining. Injection of India ink was used to simulate local anaesthetic. At a point 7 cm from the midline, the distance from the posterior aspect of the rib to the pleura averaged 8 mm. The intercostal nerve usually comprises a number of s...

متن کاملUltrasound-guided lumbar facet nerve block: accuracy of a new technique confirmed by computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Lumbar facet nerve (medial branch) blocks are often used to diagnose facet joint-mediated pain. The authors recently described a new ultrasound-guided methodology. The current study determines its accuracy using computed tomography scan controls. METHODS Fifty bilateral ultrasound-guided approaches to the lumbar facet nerves were performed in five embalmed cadavers. The target poin...
