Inconsistent nomenclature and anatomical descriptions of regional anesthetic techniques hinder scientific communication engender confusion; this in turn has implications for research, education clinical implementation anesthesia. Having produced standardized abdominal wall, paraspinal chest wall techniques, we aimed to similarly do so upper lower limb peripheral nerve blocks.
Dental professionals are at an increased risk for exposure to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs), and dental anesthesia practices have additional risks due airway management procedures. The purpose of this pilot study was examine extent splatter on personnel that may occur AGPs coughing in a practice. A Dentoform model fitted into mannequin coated Glo Germ detect during simulated produced use high-speed handpiece, ultrasonic scaler,...
Background Despite advances in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, patients remain at risk of adverse pulmonary events with suboptimal postoperative analgesia. Novel methods regional analgesia are warranted. Our objective was to prospectively evaluate the impact ultrasound-guided single-injection erector spinae plane (ESP) block ropivacaine compared placebo control on standard care recovery subjects undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) wedge resection. Methods This...
In Brief The role of ultrasound scanning in spinal anesthesia is principally limited to preprocedure imaging and identification anatomical structures. We describe our experience with a real-time technique for visualization performance anesthesia. An initial cadaver study was performed 5 unembalmed cadavers develop ultrasound-guided via Taylor's approach (paramedian the L5–S1 interspace). Subsequently, 10 patients scheduled joint arthroplasty underwent prone position. relevant anatomy...
To evaluate whether rectus sheath catheter (RSC) insertion may be an alternative to thoracic epidural (TE).In a non-blinded, single-centre, non-inferiority study, patients undergoing open radical cystectomy were randomized 1:1 receive either TE or surgically placed RSC. The primary endpoint was cumulative opiate use (median oral morphine equivalent [OME]) in the first 72 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included visual analogue scale pain scores, measures of postoperative recovery...
Introduction Traumatic rib fractures present a considerable risk to patient well-being, contributing morbidity and mortality in trauma patients. To address the risks associated with fractures, evidence-based interventions have been implemented, including effective pain management, pulmonary hygiene, early walking. Vancouver General Hospital, level 1 center British Columbia, Canada, developed comprehensive multidisciplinary chest clinical practice guideline (CTCPG) optimize management of...
<h3>Background:</h3> The intubation of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) puts health care workers at risk infection through aerosol, droplet and contact contamination. We evaluated the contamination for using 3 barrier techniques as part a quality assurance study our institution. <h3>Methods:</h3> This randomized was completed tertiary academic hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Apr. 4, 2020. Participants personal protective equipment performed simulated...
This article addresses how ultrasonography, which is commonly used by anesthesia providers for regional as well vascular access, may be useful neuraxial anesthesia. It begins with an overview of the uses ultrasonography anesthesiologists and evolution equipment, followed its in preprocedural real-time includes a critical review limitations this technology describes future trends regarding use. The aim to discuss introduction place day-to-day practice complex cases. will focus on two main...
