Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block with different volumes of Ropivacaine: a randomized trial in healthy volunteers

Authors: Frederik Vilhelmsen et al BMC Anesthesiology volume 19, Article number: 165 (2019) Background Nerve block of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a predominantly sensory block. It reduces pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the non-responder rate is high. We hypothesized, that an increased volume of ropivacaine, would result in greater coverage of incisions used for THA. […]

Arterial Catheters for Early Detection and Treatment of Hypotension During Major Noncardiac Surgery

AUTHORS: Naylor, Amanda J. MA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2019 BACKGROUND: Continuous blood pressure monitoring may facilitate early detection and prompt treatment of hypotension. We tested the hypothesis that area under the curve (AUC) mean arterial pressure (MAP) <65 mm Hg is reduced by continuous invasive arterial pressure monitoring. METHODS: Adults having noncardiac surgery were randomly […]

Effect of Different Concentrations of Propofol Used as a Sole Anesthetic on Pupillary Diameter

AUTHORS: Sabourdin, Nada MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2019 BACKGROUND: Pupillometry monitoring under general anesthesia is based on the assumption that pupillary diameter variations reflect the adequacy of the provided analgesia to the intensity of the nociceptive surgical stimulus. The accurate interpretation of pupillometric data requires establishing clearly what the expected baseline unstimulated pupillary diameter […]
