Implications of interscalene brachial plexus block in the elderly patient

Hospital Medicine, 2001
A 75-year-old, 83 kg woman had been scheduled for a right shoulder replacement. Apart from an asymptomatic hiatus hernia, polymyalgia rheumatica and osteoporosis, she was otherwise healthy. Her medication included omeprazole and prednisolone 5 mg. Preoperative blood tests, electrocardiogram (ECG) and a chest X-ray (Figure 1) were within normal limits.

Seizure After Levobupivacaine for Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2003
This case report describes a patient who demonstrated generalized seizure activity after an injection of 30 mL of levobupivacaine 0.5% for interscalene brachial plexus block. No evidence of cardiovascular toxicity was noted.

Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

2016
In the pediatric population, interscalene and supraclavicular blocks are not as commonly performed as blocks at the axillary level since the risks associated with a proximal technique deter many practitioners. These risks include pneumothorax, vertebral artery puncture and injection, epidural or intrathecal injection, phrenic nerve blockade resulting ...

Applying ultrasound imaging to interscalene brachial plexus block

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2003
Previous studies have examined ultrasound-assisted brachial plexus blocks, but few have applied this imaging technology to the interscalene region. We report a case of interscalene brachial plexus block using ultrasound guidance to show the clinical usefulness of this technology.A nerve stimulator-guided interscalene block was attempted for ...

Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block for Shoulder Surgery

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1992
This study was designed to determine whether the location of paresthesias is related to the success of interscalene blocks in providing anesthesia for shoulder surgery. Interscalene blocks were performed in 45 patients presenting for elective shoulder surgery. Interscalene injections of 33-55 mL of 1.5% mepivacaine with epinephrine were performed after

Ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block

Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 2004
The recent use of ultrasound-guided techniques to facilitate the placement of regional anesthesia blocks is the result of a search for more consistent and safer methods of nerve localization. Ultrasound guidance has been found to be helpful during the performance of brachial plexus anesthesia, particularly since advanced equipment with compound imaging

Interscalene brachial plexus block anesthesia for upper extremity surgery

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1986
Use of the interscalene brachial plexus block for upper extremity anesthesia in a primarily rheumatoid population is reviewed in 88 cases. The interscalene approach described by Winnie was used. Anesthesia was effective in 93% of the cases. Failure to achieve anesthesia was more likely to occur in surgical procedures on the distal upper extremities ...
