A randomised controlled trial of shoulder block vs. interscalene brachial plexus block for ventilatory function after shoulder arthroscopy

Anaesthesia, 2019
The shoulder block may impair ventilatory function and diaphragmatic movement less than the interscalene brachial plexus block. We randomly allocated 30 adults who underwent shoulder arthroscopy under general anaesthesia to ultrasound‐guided shoulder ...

Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches: A Pictorial Review

Sonography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) can be a source of radial wrist, dorsal hand, and thumb pain which can be challenging to clinically differentiate from other pathological entities. Ultrasound allows direct visualization of the SRN and its branches as well as the assessment of the site, extent, and type of nerve injury or ...

Ultrasound measurement of the distance of the phrenic nerve from the brachial plexus at the classic interscalene point and upper trunk: A volunteer-based observational study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023
Background and Aims: The method of blocking the brachial plexus at the level of the upper trunk has been gaining popularity as a phrenic nerve–sparing alternative for interscalene block.

Dexamethasone Is Superior to Dexmedetomidine as a Perineural Adjunct for Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: Systematic Review and Indirect Meta-analysis

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2019
BACKGROUND: Both dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine are effective peripheral nerve block (PNB) perineural adjuncts that prolong block duration. However, each is associated with side effects.

Neurophysiological Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Chronic Complete Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
TESCS‐ABT induced neurophysiological changes in individuals with chronic complete SCI, however these did not consistently translate into functional improvements. These findings highlight the role of residual supraspinal connectivity and inform future research to optimise this neurotechnology for SCI rehabilitation and identify likely responders ...
