Comparison of two regional anesthetic techniques for knee arthroscopy

Arthroscopy, 1995
Abstract This study compares the efficacy of “3‐in‐1 block” versus femoral nerve block for knee arthroscopy. One‐hundred patients had a 3‐in‐1 block; 180 patients had a femoral nerve block. The 3‐in‐1 block provided anesthesia in 75 patients; 20 patients needed supplementary local anesthesia.

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.

Regional techniques and novel local anesthetics in ambulatory anesthesia

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology
Purpose of review In an economically strained healthcare system, regional anesthesia is often perceived as an excessive cost by potentially delaying surgery and reducing operating room output; however, when integrated effectively, regional anesthesia can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and expand access to ...

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 ...
