Adjunct Medications for Single-Injection Pediatric Regional Blocks: Implications for Peripheral Nerve Blocks

Dextrose 5% vs. Dexamethasone in Regional Anesthesia: A Comparative Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Efficacy in Peripheral Nerve Blocks

A STUDY ON EFFICACY OF VARIABLE CONCENTRATIONS OF BUPIVACAINE IN ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ANTERIOR SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING LOWER LIMB SURGERIES

Background: Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks have become an integral component of multimodal perioperative analgesia. Sciatic nerve block provides effective anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia for lower limb surgeries while reducing systemic opioid requirements. The optimal concentration of bupivacaine for...

Tactical approaches to pharmacological enhancement of regional blocks: a review of the role of adjuvants

Regional anesthesia has gained recognition in recent years as a promising field in anesthesiology, allowing a substantial reduction in perioperative opioid consumption and, consequently, decreasing the incidence of opioid‑related complications. The main limitation of this approach is the relatively short duration of...

Current evidence of multimodal anesthesia on postoperative outcomes: A systematic review and Meta-analysis.

MMA shows no clear effect on postoperative pain at 24 h but reduces PONV incidence and opioid consumption, and larger, standardized trials are needed to define optimal MMA regimens and patient selection.

The Evolving Role of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation in Postoperative Analgesia and Recovery

Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Ropivacaine plus Lignocaine-adrenaline Combination for Ultrasound-guided Popliteal Sciatic and Femoral Nerve Blocks in Lower Limb Surgeries: A Double-blinded Randomised Clinical Study

Introduction: Single-injection peripheral nerve blocks provide effective perioperative analgesia for lower limb surgery, but the duration of local anaesthetic action may be insufficient for the early postoperative painful period. Dexmedetomidine may improve block quality when used as a perineural adjuvant. Aim: To eva...
