NYSORA - The New York School of Regional Anesthesia http://www.nysora.com/files.php?file= http://www.nysora.com/ The Use of Regional Anesthesia in Ambulatory Anesthesia Practice http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3123-reginonal_anesthesia_in_ambulatory_practice.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O While peripheral nerve blocks offer many potential advantages in ambulatory patients, and many anesthesiologists feel that their use will increase in the future, a vast majority of anesthesiologists do not perform lower extremity peripheral nerve blocks. The Intensity Of The Current At Which Sciatic Nerve Stimulation Is Achieved Is More Important Factor In Determining The Quality Of Nerve Block Than The Type Of Motor Response Obtained http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3122-current_intensity_of_nerve_stimulation.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O Based on our clinical experience and experimental data, the intensity of the current at which the nerve stimulation is achieved is the most important factor determining the quality and extent of the block, rather than the type of motor response obtained using higher stimulating currents. Femoral And Genitofemoral Nerve Blocks Versus Spinal Anesthesia For Outpatients Undergoing Long Saphenous Vein Stripping Surgery http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3121-pnb_vs_spinal_for_saphenous_vein_stripping.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that femoral nerve block with genitofemoral nerve infiltration provides sufficient analgesia and superior recovery characteristics to spinal anesthesia for long saphenous vein stripping procedures performed in the ambulatory setting. Peripheral Nerve Blocks For Ambulatory Surgery Of The Lower Extremity http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3120-pnb_for_ambulatory_surgery_of_le.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O The peripheral location of the surgical site in lower extremity surgery and the possibility to block the pain pathways at multiple levels, present a clear advantage for peripheral nerve blocks over either neuraxial or general anesthesia in ambulatory surgery setting. The use of specific nerve blocks provides anesthesia qualitatively comparable to that of spinal anesthesia [1, 2] but limited to the area of surgical interest. Simplified Landmarks For Popliteal Block http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3136-landmarks_for_popliteal_block.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O In the current study an MRI simulation of the popliteal block was undertaken to compare the accuracy of needle placement in relationship to the sciatic nerve using the intertendinous and classical approaches. Nerve Localization: Paresthesia or Nerve Stimulation http://www.nysora.com/jnysora/volume8/3067-nerve_localization_paresthesia_or_nerve_stimulation.html JNYSORA Volume 8 D, d M Y H:i:s O The debate over which technique, paresthesia or nerve stimulation, is safer and more effica-cious is moot.
