Low CERVICAL-2 plane block, a proposed regional anesthetic technique for acute cholecystitis

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2023
Acute cholecystitis is a painful inflammatory disease of the gallbladder. The Low Cervical-2 Plane Block is a retrolaminar block that targets the C3, C4, and C5 spinal nerves, which provide sensory innervation to the gallbladder, in order to potentially provide analgesia to patients with pain associated with acute cholecystitis.In this brief report, a ...

Local Anesthetics for Neuraxial and Regional Techniques

DeckerMed Anesthesiology, 2018
Local anesthetics are used with neuraxial and regional techniques to provide pain relief, most commonly postoperatively. Each agent is a sodium-channel blocker, although each agent differs in onset of action, potency, duration of action, and safety profile. Chemical structure and lipophilicity are the main determinants of these characteristics.

Comparison of Needle Deviation During Regional Anesthetic Techniques in a Laboratory Model

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1995
Although many characteristics of needles used for spinal and epidural anesthesia have been studied extensively, the amount that a needle deviates from a straight path while passing through tissue has been relatively ignored. A laboratory model was used to determine the amount of needle deviation produced when different types of new spinal needles and ...
