Dexamethasone as an adjuvant to peripheral nerve block.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve block (infiltration of local anaesthetic around a nerve) is used for anaesthesia or analgesia. A limitation to its use for postoperative analgesia is that the analgesic effect lasts only a few hours, after which moderate to ...

Local Anesthetic Peripheral Nerve Block Adjuvants for Prolongation of Analgesia: A Systematic Qualitative Review

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background The use of peripheral nerve blocks for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia has increased significantly in recent years. Adjuvants are frequently added to local anesthetics to prolong analgesia following peripheral nerve blockade.

Dexamethasone as Adjuvant to Bupivacaine Prolongs the Duration of Thermal Antinociception and Prevents Bupivacaine-Induced Rebound Hyperalgesia via Regional Mechanism in a Mouse Sciatic Nerve Block Model

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background Dexamethasone has been studied as an effective adjuvant to prolong the analgesia duration of local anesthetics in peripheral nerve block. However, the route of action for dexamethasone and its potential neurotoxicity are still unclear. Methods

Phrenic nerve block caused by interscalene brachial plexus block: breathing effects of different sites of injection

BMC Anesthesiology, 2015
BackgroundInterscalene brachial plexus (ISB) block is often associated with phrenic nerve block and diaphragmatic paresis. The goal of our study was to test if the anterior or the posterior ultrasound guided approach of the ISB is associated with a lower

Impact of peripheral nerve block with low dose local anesthetics on analgesia and functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective study.

Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.), 2015
OBJECTIVE While the safety and efficacy of peripheral nerve blocks for postoperative pain management has been established in several well controlled prospective trials, the local anesthetic (LA) concentration and volume used in these studies was ...

A randomised controlled trial of pectoral nerve‐2 (PECS 2) block vs. serratus plane block for chronic pain after mastectomy

Anaesthesia, 2019
Thoracic interfascial plane blocks are effective for post‐mastectomy acute analgesia. However, their effects on chronic pain are uncertain. We randomly allocated 80 women equally to pectoral nerve‐2 (PECS 2) block or serratus plane block.

Femoral nerve block-sciatic nerve block vs. femoral nerve block-local infiltration analgesia for total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2015
BackgroundThe use of femoral nerve block (FNB) combined with sciatic nerve block (SNB) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has recently become controversial.
