Mashup Score: 18Single-pass needle trajectory for lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and PENG blocks, and caution to avoid injury - 3 year(s) ago
Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is being increasingly used to provide motor-sparing analgesia for hip-fracture surgery and total hip arthroplasty.[1–4][1] While this block covers the anterior hip capsule, it fails to cover pain from the lateral hip surgical incision. Additional block of the

Mashup Score: 3Ultrasound-guided selective trunk block (SeTB): a cadaver anatomic study to evaluate the spread of dye after a simulated injection - 3 year(s) ago
Background and objectives Recent reports suggest that a selective trunk block (SeTB) can produce sensorimotor blockade of the entire upper extremity, except for the T2 dermatome. There are no data demonstrating the anatomic mechanism of SeTB. This cadaver study aimed to evaluate the spread of an injectate after a simulated ultrasound-guided (USG) SeTB. Methods USG SeTB (n=7) was performed on…

Mashup Score: 8Surgeon-performed pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior approach: a cadaveric study - 3 year(s) ago
Background During total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the direct anterior approach, orthopaedic surgeons can identify all anatomical landmarks required for pericapsular nerve group (PENG) blocks and carry out the latter under direct vision. This cadaveric study investigated the success of surgeon-performed PENG block. Success was defined as dye staining of the articular branches of the femoral and…

Mashup Score: 1Role of regional anesthesia and analgesia in enhanced recovery after colorectal surgery: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials - 3 year(s) ago
Background Effective analgesia is an important element of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), but the clinical impact of regional anesthesia and analgesia for colorectal surgery remains unclear. Objective We aimed to determine the impact of regional anesthesia following colorectal surgery in the setting of ERAS. Evidence review We performed a systematic review of nine databases up to June…

Background Single-injection interscalene brachial plexus blocks are used for analgesia for rotator cuff repair (RCR) but have limited duration. The value of adding liposomal bupivacaine (LB) to prolong single-injection interscalene blocks is unclear. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the addition of LB to regular bupivacaine interscalene blocks for patients undergoing arthroscopic…

Background Pain management after total knee arthroplasty is essential to improve early mobilization, rehabilitation, and recovery. Continuous adductor canal (AC) block provides postoperative analgesia while preserving quadriceps strength. However, there have been inconsistencies regarding the optimal location for continuous catheter block. We compared continuous femoral triangle, proximal AC, and…

Mashup Score: 15Effect of superior trunk block on diaphragm function and respiratory parameters after shoulder surgery - 3 year(s) ago
Background The interscalene brachial plexus block has been used effectively for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing shoulder surgery, but it is associated with high rates of diaphragmatic dysfunction. Performing the block more distally, at the level of the superior trunk, may reduce the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy. We hypothesized that superior trunk block would…

Mashup Score: 1Preoperative pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for total hip arthroplasty: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial - 4 year(s) ago
Background We hypothesized that the addition of a preoperative pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block to intra-articular local anesthetic injection would improve analgesia after total hip arthroplasty. Method In this double-blinded trial, 71 patients scheduled for primary total hip arthroplasty were randomized to receive preoperative PENG block with 20 mL 0.5% ropivacaine (PENG group) or 20 mL…

To the Editor Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has shown promise in the treatment of phantom limb pain (PLP), but its use in conjunction to regional local anesthetic (LA) block has not been well researched. While elucidating whether PNS exerts its effect via central or peripheral neuromodulation
