Mashup Score: 2
Background/Importance Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the second-leading cause of death and disability in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and is associated with cerebral arterial vasospasm (CAV). Current treatments for CAV are expensive, invasive, and have limited efficacy. Cervical sympathetic block (CSB) is an underappreciated, but potentially highly effective…

Introduction Interscalene brachial plexus blocks are a commonly performed procedure to reduce pain following total shoulder arthroplasty. Liposomal bupivacaine has been purported to prolong the duration of brachial plexus blocks for up to 72 hours; however, there has been controversy surrounding the analgesic benefits of this drug. Our hypothesis was that an interscalene block performed with…

Mashup Score: 1
Background The retrodural space of Okada is a potential space posterior to the ligamentum flavum that allows communication with the bilateral facet joints. However, the actual anatomy of this space has not been clearly visualized to date. We sought to investigate the characteristics of patients showing contrast spreading to the facet joint space during epidural injection and to clarify the…

Mashup Score: 3Plasma bupivacaine levels (total and free/unbound) during epidural infusion in liver resection patients: a prospective, observational study - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Liver resection patients may be at an increased risk of local anesthetic (LA) toxicity because the liver is essential for metabolizing LA and producing proteins (mainly α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG)) that bind to it and reduce the free (and pharmacologically active/toxic) levels in circulation. The liver resection itself, manipulation during surgery, and pre-existing liver disease may…

Mashup Score: 1Evaluation of lumbar medial branch blocks: how does the second block influence progression to radiofrequency ablation? - 2 year(s) ago
Lumbar medial branch blocks (LMBBs) are a prognostic tool for lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation (LMBRFA). The number of blocks and percent pain relief necessary for progression to LMBRFA are debated. Consensus practice guidelines have made a clinical practice recommendation that ≥50%

Mashup Score: 6Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for hip arthroscopy: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Arthroscopic hip surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. Femoral nerve blocks have been shown to improve postoperative analgesia at the expense of quadriceps weakness. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block could be an alternative that may improve postoperative analgesia while preserving quadriceps strength. Our hypothesis was that a PENG block would provide…

Pre-existing nerve dysfunction is regarded as a relative contraindication to peripheral nerve block (PNB).[1][1] The American Society of Regional Anesthesia’s most recent guidelines suggested a heightened risk of nerve injury when PNB is performed in patients with systemic neuropathies including
