A Combination of Ultrasound-guided Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block and Adductor Canal Block as a Sole Anaesthetic Technique for below Knee Amputation in High-risk Patients: A Case Series [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Below-knee amputation in high-risk patients is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Spinal anaesthesia is linked to an increased incidence of hypotension and bradycardia, and it is relatively contraindicated in patients with coagulation

Continuous sciatic nerve block [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1984 Summary A technique of continuous sciatic nerve block is described. The method was used to relieve pain from ischaemic gangrene of the foot for 2 days before below‐knee amputation and, combined with a continuous inguinal paravascular block, to provide regional anaesthesia both for the surgery and for the first 2 postoperative days.

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. [PDF]
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:
