Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparison between 1.5% lidocaine with adrenaline and 1.5% plain mepivacaine in axillary brachial plexus block].
To evaluate the distribution of sensory blockade, the onset time and the duration of the axillary plexus block obtained after the administration of 40 mL of 1.5% lignocaine with adrenaline or 40 mL of plain 1.5% mepivacaine. ⋯ Following axillary plexus block, 1.5% mepivacaine improves neither the extension nor the duration of sensory blockade achieved by 1.5% lignocaine with adrenaline.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Addition of clonidine to 0.5% lidocaine for intravenous locoregional anesthesia].
Evaluate the effect of the addition of clonidine to lidocaine on postoperative pain after intravenous regional anaesthesia. ⋯ The addition of clonidine (150 micrograms) to lidocaine for intravenous regional anaesthesia improved postoperative analgesia but in a limited and short-lasting manner.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Effectiveness of low mivacurium if its injection is postponed by a non-invasive pressure determination on the homolateral arm].
We assessed the neuromuscular characteristics of 0.2 mg.kg-1 of mivacurium while its injection was concomitant to a non invasive blood pressure measurement in the ipsilateral arm. ⋯ This study suggests that non invasive blood pressure measurement of the ipsilateral arm, concomitant to the injection of mivacurium decreases the potency of mivacurium. This finding is mostly explained by the early hydrolysis of mivacurium in the plasma of the excluded arm.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Practice of spinal anesthesia in a developing country: usefulness of vascular preloading with a 7.5% hypertonic saline solution].
To assess the efficacy of hypertonic saline for prevention of arterial hypotension in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia in Niger. ⋯ Hypertonic saline prevents efficiently the occurrence of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia. Considering its ease of preparation, the lack of adverse effects, in patients not suffering arterial hypertension or congestive heart failure, and low cost, hypertonic saline is well adapted for use in a developing country, if isotonic solutions are not available.
