the painful nature of fractures has made it inevitable to use various anesthetic techniques to reduce or immobilize fractured parts. in the present study, axillary nerve block was compared with intravenous midazolam/fentanyl to induce anesthesia for painless reduction of upper extremity fractures. the subjects in the present clinical trial consisted of 60 patients with upper extremity fractures...

background hip fracture–related pain both before and after surgery is generally reported as severe by most patients. various regional pain control modalities have been described in order to reduce pain in these patients. objectives because of the challenges of lumbar plexus block (lpb) and the fact that the effect of combined femoral nerve block/spinal anesthesia in controlling pain after ortho...

background: the effect of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (ii-ih) nerve block on postoperative pain is well documented when performed before caesarean section (cs) but the efficacy remains unclear when performed after the surgical procedure. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ii-ih nerve block on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients when performed after c...

background and aims . dentists administer thousands of local anesthetic injections every day. injection to a highly vascular area such as pterygomandibular space during an inferior alveolar nerve block has a high risk of intravascular needle entrance. accidental intravascular injection of local anesthetic agent with vasoconstrictor may result in cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicit...
