BACKGROUND Intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) and hindfoot four-point nerve block anaesthesia (NBA) are recommended for local anaesthesia (LA) in the distal limb of dairy cows. Two studies were conducted to compare the efficacy, time until onset and stress responses to IVRA and NBA in dairy cows. In the first cross-over designed study, eight healthy unsedated German Holstein cows, restrain...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to compare low concentration-high volume intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) method with local anesthetic method in upper extremity surgery in terms of efficiency and adverse effects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-nine patients were divided into 2 groups; the first group received a 2% concentration of 12-15 mL lidocaine (Group 1) and the second group recei...

Multiple adjuvants had been added to improve the quality of intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA). The aim of this study was to compare the effect of tramadol hydrochloride with that of ketorolac as an adjuvant for lidocaine IVRA. This study was conducted at Mamata medical college, Khammam, Telangana state. Sixty patients of ASA grade I was included in this study. They were divided into 3 gro...

Intravenous Regional Anaesthesia (IVRA) has been first described in 1908 by the german surgeon August KG Bier. Although the technique was easy to perform and effective in giving surgical anaesthesia, the newer plexus block techniques largely replaced in a short time the "Bier block", because of time limitations of IVRA and safety considerations. Throughout the years modifications in procedure a...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of distal forearm intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) with the tourniquet applied 3 cm above the wrist. One hundred and twenty patients undergoing out-patient hand surgery were operated for 13 different hand problems under distal forearm IVRA, using 10 ml of a solution containing 1.5 mg/kg prilocaine. Sensory block onset time ...

Background: Several studies have put an effort to minimize the tourniquet pain and complications after conventionaldouble tourniquet intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA). We expressed in our hypothesis that an upper arm singlewide tourniquet (ST) may serve a better clinical efficacy rather than the conventional upper arm double tourniquet (DT)in distal upper extremity surgeries.Methods: In th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three local anesthetic agents for intravenous regional anesthesia in the upper limb. Side effects and plasma concentrations of the drugs in the doses administered for IVRA were also studied. METHODS Thirty patients in ASA groups I and II received intravenous regional anesthesia for surgery of the upper lim...

aim and background:   intravenous regional anesthesia is easy to administer, reliable, and costeffective methods and materials:   in a randomized, double blinded, clinical trial thirty patients of 18 to 60 findings:   sensory block onset time, motor block onset time, tourniquet pain and analgesic conclusions:   addition of nitroglycerine to lidocaine to intravenous regional anesthesia can
