Median Effective Volume of 0.2% Ropivacaine for Ultrasound‐Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block in Children Aged 6–10 Years: A Prospective Dose‐Finding Study Using Up‐and‐Down Sequential Allocation

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the median effective volume (EV50) of 0.2% ropivacaine for ultrasound‐guided axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB) in children aged 6–10 years, using the Dixon up‐and‐down method. The EV50 was 0.350 mL/kg (95% CI: 0.197–0.362 mL/kg), calculated by isotonic regression and bootstrapping.

A prospective, randomized, triple-blind comparative study of ropivacaine-dexmedetomidine versus ropivacaine alone in peribulbar blocks

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2023
Background and Aims: Bupivacaine and lidocaine mixtures are the commonly used local anesthetic drugs for the peribulbar blocks. Because of its safe anesthetic profile, ropivacaine is being investigated as an alternative agent.

Preoperative caudal blocks associated with decreased cumulative opioid requirements compared to postoperative caudal blocks in pediatric urologic surgery

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Caudal blocks (CB) are a cornerstone of pediatric urologic surgery, providing effective analgesia while mitigating potential neurotoxicity associated with general anesthesia and opioids. However, the optimal timing of CB—preoperative versus postoperative—remains controversial.

A comparative evaluation of hyperbaric ropivacaine versus hyperbaric bupivacaine for elective surgery under spinal anesthesia

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2014
Background: Recently introduced ropivacaine is 40% less potent than bupivacaine. Ropivacaine made hyperbaric by the addition of dextrose is known to provide reliable spinal anesthesia (SA).This study was designed to compare the clinical efficacy of equal

The Challenges and Benefits of an Open Anterior Repair of Recurrent Inguinal Hernias: A Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Recurrent inguinal hernia repair presents unique clinical challenges. While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is often preferred, open anterior mesh repair is a valid approach particularly when requiring mesh, suture, or tack removal. This study evaluates the outcomes of a small incision open anterior mesh repair, including foreign

Inhibition of CD38/Cyclic ADP-ribose Pathway Protects Rats against Ropivacaine-induced Convulsion

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Background: The CD38/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) pathway plays a role in various central nervous system diseases and in morphine tolerance, but its role in local anesthetic intoxication is unknown.

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...
