The degree of block produced by local anesthetics is dependent upon how the nerve has been stimulated and on its resting membrane potential. Local anesthetics are only able to bind to sodium channels in their charged form and when the sodium channels are open c17e18d5e01e50d7dbb16e8faf9304b9 http://www.nysora.com/regional_anesthesia/equipment/3114-nerve_stimulators.html Equipment Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:35:00 +0000 With a resurgence of interest in regional anesthesia and demand for more accurate nerve localization before injection of local anesthetics, there has been a corresponding response from the industry, resulting in over a dozen of various units being present on the market. Thus, it comes as a no surprise that we are often asked which nerve stimulator would we recommend. d5f1402e803a24ba82f3b898e9a7d2ba http://www.nysora.com/regional_anesthesia/equipment/3115-block_tray_set-up.html Equipment Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:45:00 +0000 A thorough and ergonomically prepared regional block tray is a prerequisite for successful and time-efficient administration of regional blocks. Unless the operator has all equipment prepared and ready to use, the performance of regional blocks will be quite laborious. Regional anesthesia trays can obviously be set-up in many different ways, to accommodate local practice settings and commonly used techniques. However, here we just suggest a basic setup which is quick to prepare and works very well in our practice. e159a652524d83f5bf97d4e9ed9293f6 http://www.nysora.com/regional_anesthesia/equipment/3054-organization_regional_cart.html Equipment Thu, 12 Mar 2009 03:21:00 +0000 Proper organization of the regional anesthesia cart provides the clinician with a powerful tool to make blocks more effective and efficient. c9f0a49f5359d9fb0eaa105ba76eaea5 http://www.nysora.com/regional_anesthesia/equipment/3065-local_anesthetic_solutions_for_continuous_nerve_blocks.html Equipment Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:57:00 +0000 In the past few years progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms and pathways involved in the modulation of pain, as well as in developing new therapeutic tools to provide satisfactory pain relief after surgery. The relationship between the intensity of acute postoperative pain and the duration of the patient’s recovery and functional outcome has been well established. af852d4cee1fbeb0c26986b1f7cf889c http://www.nysora.com/regional_anesthesia/equipment/3117-nerve_localization.html Equipment Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:57:00 +0000 The debate over which technique, paresthesia or nerve stimulation, is safer and more effica-cious is moot. The debate must be limited only to brachial plexus 8ba20cbf53a03fa544333500ed178555
