A femoral nerve block is a basic nerve block technique that is easy to master, carries a low risk of complications, and has a significant clinical applicability for surgical anesthesia and post-operative pain management....
An interscalene brachial plexus block relies on dispersion of the larger volume of local anesthetic within the interscalene groove to accomplish blockade of the brachial plexus. In our practice, we approach this block closer to the clavicle, rather than a commonly described approach at the level of the cricoid cartilage. ...
The posterior approach to sciatic blockade has wide clinical applicability for surgery and pain management of the lower extremity. Consequently, sciatic block is one of the most commonly used techniques in our practice....
The infraclavicular block is a blockade of the brachial plexus below the level of the clavicle and in the proximity of the coracoid process. ...
The popliteal block is a block of the sciatic nerve at the level of the popliteal fossa. The popliteal block is one of the most commonly used regional anesthesia techniques in our practice. Some common indications include corrective foot surgery, foot debridement, and Achilles tendon repair. Sound knowledge of the principles of nerve stimulation and anatomic characteristics of the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa are essential for its successful implementation....
The intercostal nerves (ICNs) supply the major parts of the skin and musculature of the chest and abdominal wall. The block of these nerves was first described by Braun in 1907, in the textbook Die Lokalanästesie....
Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is an accumulation of blood in the potential space between the dura and the bone. Hemorrhage into the spinal canal most commonly occurs in the epidural space because of the prominent epidural venous plexus. SEH may be spontaneous or may follow minor trauma, such as lumbar puncture or neuraxial anesthesia. It is more likely to occur in anticoagulated or thrombocytopenic patients, or in those with liver disease or alcoholism....
A deep cervical plexus block is essentially a paravertebral block of the C2, C3, and C4 spinal nerves as they emerge from the foramina of the respective vertebrae. Blockade of the deep cervical plexus also results in the blockade of the superficial cervical plexus....
The superficial cervical plexus supplies innervation to the skin of the anterolateral neck through anterior primary rami of C2 through C4....
Obturator nerve block is used to treat hip joint pain and in the relief of adductor muscle spasm associated with hemi-or paraplegia. Muscle spasticity is relatively common problem among patients suffering from central neurological problems such as cerebrovascular pathology, medullar injuries, multiple sclerosis, infantile cerebral palsy, etc. ...
