A preliminary animal study on the prediction of nerve block success using ultrasonographic parameters

Scientific Reports, 2022
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonographic parameters as an indicator for predicting regional nerve block success. Ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block was performed in seven dogs using either 2% mepivacaine (nerve-block group)

0.5% levobupivacaine versus 0.5% ropivacaine: Are they different in ultrasound-guided sciatic block?

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015
Context and Aims: Little is known about onset and duration of sciatic block after 0.5% levobupivacaine (Levo) versus 0.5% ropivacaine (Ropi) for ultrasound-guided technique.

Arthroscopic medial meniscus trimming or repair under nerve blocks: Which nerves should be blocked?

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background: This study aimed to determine the role of the sciatic and obturator nerve blocks (in addition to femoral block) in providing painless arthroscopic medial meniscus trimming/repair.

Posterior proximal sciatic nerve block through Franco's midgluteal approach versus classic Labat-Winnie's approach in obese patients: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal
Background: Sciatic Nerve Block (SNB) is commonly used for providing either anesthesia or analgesia for lower limb surgery. Aim of the work: It is a comparison between electric nerve stimulation guided-posterior proximal SNB through Franco's midgluteal ...

Composite Anatomical Variations between the Sciatic Nerve and the Piriformis Muscle: A Nepalese Cadaveric Study

Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2020
Piriformis syndrome is a rare syndrome which is one of the main causes of nondiscogenic sciatica causing severe low back pain due to entrapment of sciatic nerve either by the hypertrophy or by inflammation of the piriformis muscle.

Predictive Model for Sciatic Nerve Block Efficacy Based on Perfusion Index and Regional Blood Flow Changes

Journal of Investigative Surgery
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of sciatic nerve block by evaluating changes in regional blood flow and the Perfusion Index (PI) in the lower extremities, and to develop a predictive model for assessing the success of the block using ...

Subparaneural injection in popliteal sciatic nerve blocks evaluated by MRI

Open Medicine, 2019
Intraneural injection of a local anesthetic can damage the nerve, yet it occurs frequently during distal sciatic block with no neurological sequelae. This has led to a controversy about the optimal needle tip placement that results from the particular ...

The Anatomic Relationship of the Tibial Nerve to the Common Peroneal Nerve in the Popliteal Fossa: Implications for Selective Tibial Nerve Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Pain Research and Management, 2017
Background. A recently described selective tibial nerve block at the popliteal crease presents a viable alternative to sciatic nerve block for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

A comparative study of spinal bupivacaine with fentanyl versus ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block in lower limb orthopedic procedures: A prospective randomized controlled trial.

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa
Background Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine and fentanyl is widely used for its rapid onset, while ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve blocks are gaining popularity for prolonged postoperative analgesia with fewer systemic side effects ...
