The effect of warming ropivacaine on ultrasound-guided subgluteal sciatic nerve block: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background There is a long latent period for the sciatic nerve block before a satisfactory block is attained. Changes in the temperature of local anesthetics may influence the characters of the peripheral nerve block.
