Anesthesia and analgesia, 119(6), 1442-1448 (2014-10-01)
It is believed that local anesthetic injected to obtain circumferential spread around nerves produces a more rapid onset and successful blockade after some ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks. However, evidence demonstrating this point is limited only to the popliteal sciatic nerve

British journal of anaesthesia, 113(1), 177-185 (2014-02-28)
The relation between the pattern of local anaesthetic (LA) spread and the quality of peripheral nerve block is unclear. Twenty-one volunteers were randomized to receive a median nerve block with intended circumferential or intended non-circumferential spread of LA. Different predetermined

Anesthesia and analgesia, 119(2), 489-493 (2014-06-11)
Among the various factors influencing the success rate, onset time, and duration of peripheral nerve blocks, the role of local anesthetics concentration remains uncertain. In this prospective, randomized, single-blinded study, we evaluated whether varying the dilution of a fixed dose

British journal of anaesthesia, 112(4), 735-741 (2013-10-31)
The use of lipid emulsions to reduce cardiac toxicity of local anaesthetics (LAs) has shown success in experimental studies and some clinical cases, and thus has been implemented in clinical practice. However, lipid treatment is usually given after the occurrence
