background: obtaining a good sensory and motor block is the goal of performing spinal anesthesia for surgeries. the aim of this study is to compare the effect of trendelenburg position on sensory block level after spinal anesthesia with intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacine. methods: we enrolled 80 men, classified as asa i, scheduled for elective hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. participants ...

a 39-year-old iranian female patient who was a known case of primary cervical dystonia since 10 years ago presented to a private office for dysport injection. the patients experienced severe dysphagia after inferior alveolar nerve block which was preceded by cervical botolinum toxin injection. a possible synergistic effect of botolinum toxin and lidocaine to produce severe dysphagia is presente...

BACKGROUND Digital nerve blocks are commonly used as effective techniques of anaesthesia to allow a variety of surgical procedures performed on digits. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of volar subcutaneous single injection block and the traditional dorsal two injections digital block. METHODS This randomized controlled trial was conducted at Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery...

ultrasound guidance for pain interventions is becoming increasing recognized as a useful imaging tool. one of the common interventions where it is gaining wider acceptance is during the performance of a stellate ganglion block. the following is a unique report where intravascular and neuronal injury occurred during the performance of an ultrasound guided stellate ganglion block followed by dysp...

It has been reported that PECS II block can alleviate postoperative pain following transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TA-TAVI). However, the effectiveness of continuous PECS II block with catheterization has not yet been reported on the postoperative pain in patients undergoing TA-TAVI. We experienced two cases of TA-TAVI who received PECS II block with catheterization to mana...

BACKGROUND Spinal anaesthesia (SA) has high success rates. However, inadequate block after SA has been reported even in the absence of technical problems. Various mechanisms for failed SA (FSA) have been proposed, but reports of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of local anaesthetics (LA) after FSA are scarce. We report lumbar CSF concentrations of bupivacaine in 20 patients in whom adeq...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inferior alveolar nerve block injection is one of the common intra oral anesthetic techniques, with a failure rate of 15-20%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the position of the lingula as an index for this injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty eight panoramic radiographs of 7-11 year old patients were analyzed and the distance between the lingula index and occlusa...

Background and aim: The mental-incisive nerve block can be used where lower premolars and anterior teeth require treatment. The aim of this study is to compare tow methods ofmental-incisive nerve block for extraction of the lower premolars and anterior teeth. Methods and materials: This randomized double blind split-mouth clinical trial study was performed on patients requiring extraction of lo...
