Introduction Intravascular injection of a local anesthetic can lead to life-threatening complications, such as deficits in neurological function after caudal epidural block. This study aimed to determine whether the intravascular injection rate of the Tuohy needle is lower than that of the Quincke needle during an ultrasound-guided caudal block. Methods Two-hundred and thirty patients were…

Mashup Score: 3Cadaveric study investigating the femoral nerve-sparing volume for pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block - 1 year(s) ago
Background This cadaveric study investigated the maximum effective volume of dye in 90% of cases (MEV90) required to stain the iliac bone between the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and the iliopubic eminence (IPE) while sparing the femoral nerve during the performance of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. Methods In cadaveric hemipelvis specimens, the ultrasound transducer was placed…

Mashup Score: 1Accuracy of injection pressure measurement at peripheral nerves using high-resolution 40 MHz ultrasound in an anesthetized porcine model - 1 year(s) ago
Background Fluid injection pressure measurement is promoted as a marker of needle tip position that discriminates between tissue layers. However, clinical ultrasound has insufficient resolution to identify the exact position of the needle tip. Our primary objective was to use 40 MHz ultrasound in anesthetized pigs in order to precisely locate the tip of the needle and measure opening injection…

Mashup Score: 0Median effective dose of ropivacaine for prophylactic cervical cerclage in Chinese women: a dose-finding study - 1 year(s) ago
Background Although intrathecal ropivacaine has been widely used for caesarean delivery, there are limited data for the use of ropivacaine for prophylactic cervical cerclage. We sought to determine the median effective dose of intrathecal ropivacaine for prophylactic cervical cerclage in 50% of patients (ED50) and the calculated dose required for successful block in 95% of patients…

Background/importance Postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD) is a frequent and preventable complication after surgery. The large high-quality evidence for the efficacy of supplemental regional analgesia blocks (RAB) for preventing PNCD is still elusive. Objective The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of RAB versus standard anesthesia care on the incidence of…

Mashup Score: 0Novel use of continuous pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block technique for traumatic superior and inferior pubic rami fractures: a case report - 1 year(s) ago
Background Pubic rami fractures are painful injuries more commonly seen in the elderly with osteoporosis after high velocity trauma. In the most cases, management is conservative and non-operative with the goal to provide optimal pain relief to facilitate early mobilization and hospital discharge. Unfortunately, opioids remain the mainstay analgesic option and regional anesthesia techniques are…

Background/importance Infant spinal anesthesia has many potential benefits. However, the delivery of infant spinal anesthesia is technically challenging. The landmark-based technique has not changed for over a century. Advancements in ultrasound technology may provide an opportunity to improve infant spinal procedures. Objective Our primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive review of the…

Mashup Score: 0Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale scores associated with longer PROMIS measures - 1 year(s) ago
Accurately assessing acute pain requires capturing the biopsychosocial impact pain can have on functioning, especially after orthopedic surgery. Numerous measures exist; however, the preponderance of pain assessments focus on pain intensity alone or require lengthy assessments that may not be of use
