Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Locorregional anaesthesia have been increased its role in different kind of surgeries, alone or combined with general anesthesia. Due to ultrasound, peripheral nerve blocks have been increased their importance in locoregional anaesthesia. They provide excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, decreasing the need for intravenous opioids which increase postoperative nausea and vomiting which may prolong hospital stay.

The primary study objective is to analyze retrospectively the use of peripheral nerve blocks in the current practice of a specialized regional anaesthesia division.

This is an observational, retrospective and unicenter study. 1346 patients scheduled for the surgery needed a peripheral nerve block were enrolled.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Locorregional anaesthesia have been increased its role in different kind of surgeries, alone or combined with general anesthesia. Due to ultrasound, peripheral nerve blocks have been increased their importance in locoregional anaesthesia. They provide excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, decreasing the need for intravenous opioids which increase postoperative nausea and vomiting which may prolong hospital stay.

However, peripheral nerve blocks may be associated with postoperative complications, especially neurological ones. Classically, interscalene brachial plexus block produced a 100% incidence of phrenic nerve paralysis with resultant pulmonary compromise. Little literature has published a following of complications.

The primary study objective is to analyze retrospectively the use of peripheral nerve blocks in the current practice of a specialized regional anaesthesia division. The secondary objectives are assessed the patients characteristics of our sample, local anaesthetic dose used, the peripheral nerve block operator, the nerve location technique, the surgery and the complication rate after peripheral nerve block.

This is an observational, retrospective and unicenter study. 1346 patients scheduled for the surgery needed a peripheral nerve block were enrolled.

Peripheral nerve block Group

Every patient scheduled during 2011-2019 for the surgery needed a peripheral nerve block were enrolled.

Peripheral nerve block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Peripheral nerve block consists of the administration of a local anaesthetic into the nerves to inhibit nerve transmission in a specific part of the body. Ultrasound or Nerve stimulator could be used to locate the peripheral nerve. A needle is placed through the anatomical references to administer local anaesthetic around the peripheral nerve. Single-shot or continuous blocks are performed preoperatively and postoperatively as current practice in the surgery theatre. Using ultrasound, in-plane or out-plane approach could be performed. Peripheral nerve block provides excellent intraoperative and postoperative analgesia decreasing the need for intravenous pain drugs. Interscalene block, supraclavicular block, safene block, femoral block, BRILMA block are different kinds of peripheral nerve block using in the anaesthestic current practice.
