background many multimodal analgesia techniques have been tried to provide adequate analgesia for midline incisions extending above and below the umbilicus aiming at limiting the perioperative use of morphine thus limiting side effects. ultrasound (us) guidance made the anesthesiologist reconsider old techniques for wider clinical use. the rectus sheath block (rsb) is a useful technique under-u...

results totally, 20 patients completed the study. the cms and pain scores significantly improved after the block. conclusions the use of the modified lateral ssnb of feigl significantly reduces pain and increases shoulder function, in chronic shoulder pain. patients and methods patients were evaluated using the constant-murley score (cms) and number rating scale values for pain. the ssn was blo...

Nowadays knee arthroscopy is the most common orthopedic procedure. It used to diagnose and treat various pathological conditions. Usually can be performed using spinal anesthesia. The article presents a successful experience of combined technique, which consist in unilateral subarachnoid anesthesia with additional adductor canal block blocks articular branches sciatic obturator nerves.

introduction: pain control is the most important issue in emergency department management of patients with femoral bone fractures. the present study aimed to compare the procedural features of ultrasonography and nerve stimulator guided femoral nerve block in this regard. method: in this randomized clinical trial, patients with proximal femoral fractures presenting to emergency department were ...

A man developed signs of femoral and obturator neuropathy due to spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage while taking anticoagulant drugs for suspected thrombophlebitis. The hemorrhage was demonstrated by CT scan, CT scans should be used in all patients developing signs of peripheral nerve entrapment during anticoagulant therapy. Neuropathy Retroperitoneal hemorrhage Computed tomography

background the aim of the present study was to compare two analgesic techniques for transrectal ultrasound (trus)-guided biopsy: diclofenac patch versus periprostatic nerve block with 1% lidocaine. objectives to study the efficacy of and compare diclofenac patch and periprostatic nerve block as analgesia in trus-guided prostate needle biopsy. patients and methods in total, 60 patients were pros...

Psoas compartment block (PCB) is a peripheral regional anaesthetic technique that blocks the main components of the lumbar plexus, namely the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous (LFC), and obturator nerves as they run within the psoas major muscle. The psoas compartment block is also known as the posterior lumbar plexus block. A posterior approach to the lumbar plexus was first described by Winn...

INTRODUCTION Proximal femoral fractures are most common fractures in the elderly. To relieve the pain due to the injury, conventional management modality is administration of systemic opioids and non-steroid anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In this study, we examined the effectiveness of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in pain management in acute stage for patients with proximal femoral...

introduction: pain is the most common complaint of patients referring to emergency department (ed). considering the importance of pain management in ed, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in this setting. methods: 46 patients who came to the ed with injured extremities were enrolled in the study and received either femoral, axillary or...
