This study aimed to compare its effectiveness sham in elderly patients with fractures.A randomized double-blind controlled trial was conducted intertrochanteric and neck femur fractures. Patients were receive either PENG or block. Postblock, systemic analgesia titrated using standardized protocol acetaminophen, oral morphine patient-controlled analgesia. primary outcome dynamic...
Frail patients have decreased physiological reserves and consequently, they are unable to recover as quickly from surgery. Frailty, an entity, is a risk factor of increased morbidity mortality. It also associated with longer time discharge. This trial undertaken determine if novel prehabilitation protocol (10-day bundle interventions-physiotherapy, nutritional supplementation cognitive training) can reduce the postoperative length stay frail who undergoing elective abdominal surgery,...
The perineural administration of alcohol or phenol results in protein denaturation and, consequently, neurolysis. This can produce long-lasting analgesia, with a duration 3-6 months. Although neurolytic blocks for the brachial plexus have been described multiple review articles and textbooks, they are rarely performed. As such, little is known about efficacy adverse effect profile this commonly treatment. In article, we report outcomes patient who underwent left block management upper limb...
