The understanding of ergonomics is a vital competency for all peripheral nerve block operators. essence physical procedures can be summarised into three significant components: brain, musculoskeletal and needling. first component includes strategies to optimise visuospatial neuroprocessing using equipment configuration. second reflects the careful planning posture position improve procedural te...

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 ...

Postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing robot-assisted thoracic surgery: a comparison between epidural and intercostal nerve block combined with intravenous patient-controlled

Acute experimental allergic neuritis was induced in Lewis rats by inoculation with bovine intradural root myelin and adjuvants. In terminal experiments, sensory conduction was assessed in rats with hindlimb ataxia and weakness by stimulating the exposed sciatic nerve and recording directly from the exposed L-4 spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, and dorsal root entry zone. Focal co...

Regional anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery in parturients is a method to decrease patient and fetal risk during general anesthesia. Thoracic interfascial nerve block can be used as an analgesic technique for surgical procedures of the thorax. The Pecs II block is an interfascial block that targets not only the medial and lateral pectoral nerves, but also the lateral cutaneous branch of the i...

Patel YA, Butera RJ. Differential fiber-specific block of nerve conduction in mammalian peripheral nerves using kilohertz electrical stimulation. J Neurophysiol 113: 3923–3929, 2015. First published April 15, 2015; doi:10.1152/jn.00529.2014.—Kilohertz electrical stimulation (KES) has been shown to induce repeatable and reversible nerve conduction block in animal models. In this study, we charac...

Background: This study aimed at understanding thermal effects on nerve conduction and developing new methods to produce a reversible thermal block of axonal conduction in mammalian myelinated nerves. Methods: In 13 cats, conduction block of pudendal nerves by cooling (5–30 °C) or heating (42–54 °C) a small segment of the nerve was monitored by the urethral striated muscle contractions and incre...
