INSECT NERVE BLOCKS?

Upper limb nerve blocks

Brachial plexus blockade has enjoyed great popularity since it was first reported in 1884. As the ventral primary rami of cervical nerves 5–8 and a part of the first thoracic nerve emerge from the intervertebral foramina, they are invested in a fascial sheath that runs to a point distal to the axilla. Effective regional anaesthesia can be achieved with single or multiple injections at a variety...

Upper Extremity Nerve Blocks

Nerve stimulator guided pudendal nerve blocks.

We attribute this to the young age of the patient, prompt treatment, and the rapid resolution of symptoms following institution of therapy. It is possible that older infants and adults exhibit more marked elevations in serum CPK due to their relative increased muscle mass. Also noteworthy, was the self-limited fever and tachycardia following her initial anesthetic. Unexplained fever and tachyca...

Peripheral nerve blocks in children

The performance of peripheral nerve blocks in children is similar to adults. Interestingly most of the techniques described below are often underused, and therefore only a few publications are available. We perform the entire spectrum of blocks in our daily clinical practice, and it is important to state that most of ultrasound guided blocks reflect our personal experience and not all technique...

Workflow in Interventional Radiology: Nerve Blocks and Facet Blocks

Workflow analysis has the potential to dramatically improve the efficiency and clinical outcomes of medical procedures. In this study, we recorded the workflow for nerve block and facet block procedures in the interventional radiology suite at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, USA. We employed a custom client/server software architecture developed by the Innovation Center for Co...
