BACKGROUND An alternative to general anesthesia was tested against hematoma block by a double-blind, randomized clinical trial in reduction of Colles fracture. METHOD 96 patients more than 18 years old with displaced fractures of distal radius were selected from 2007-2009 on the basis of: 1) informed consent; 2) no contraindication to any method of analgesia; 3) no associated injury. Patients...

Horner's syndrome results from paralysis of the ipsilateral sympathetic cervical chain (stellate ganglion) caused by surgery, drugs (mainly high concentrations of local anesthetics), local compression (hematoma or tumor), or inadequate perioperative positioning of the patient. It occurs in 100% of the patients with an interscalene block of the brachial plexus and can also occur in patients with...

background and aims: infraclavicular nerve block (icnb) is one of the most efficacious peripheral nerve blocks for upper extremity procedures, associated with several potential complications. recently, some authors have recommended ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block for icnb. the current study is aimed to compare the outcomes of icnb utilizing combined ultrasound guidance and neurostimula...

Anew era has begun for acute ischemic stroke since the success of a clinical trial of hyperacute thrombolytic therapy. By contrast, there is yet time before daybreak in the management of acute intracerebral hematoma (ICH). Although many therapeutic options, including surgical evacuation, are described in stroke textbooks and guidelines for patients with acute ICH, nothing has yet been proven in...

Purpose: The aim of this study was retrospective assessment the reduction quality, hospitalization time, and relief pain in hematoma block assisted closed versus sedoanalgesia reduction.
 Materials Methods: There were 106 patients included who diagnosed as isolated displaced distal fracture radius treated with reduction. Hematoma used 45 61 patients. Midazolam (0,1 mg/kg) fentanyl (1 mcg/k...

BACKGROUND Epidural haematoma is a rare, but potentially disastrous complication of epidural analgesia. Favourable neurological outcome depends upon early recognition and surgical decompression; therefore, the management of epidural analgesia should include a systematic approach to recognition of the signs of epidural haematoma. METHODS We conducted a national postal survey of the policies an...
