[Prehospital analgesia with femoral nerve block following lower extremity injury. A 107 cases survey].
Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) has been proposed for femoral fracture analgesia in a prehospital setting. ⋯ Prehospital FNB appeared to be efficacious in routine practice. Teaching FNB to non-anesthesiologist physicians is challenging.

[Profile and motivations of students performing a universitary degree in 2011].
Observational study relating to the inscriptions with universitary diplomas (DU) in relation with anesthesiology and intensive care during the year 2010-2011. We had in mind to know the profile and the motivations of the students concerned. ⋯ DUs related to our specialty are much appreciated. They interest a majority of senior doctors, but also a considerable number of residents, which poses the problem of the place of these additional trainings within the framework of initial training. The principal motivations of the registered voters are to supplement their initial training or to widen their field of competence, much more than to make up a deficit of this initial training. Lastly, the total financial expenses associated with these diplomas remain important and appear inversely proportional to the incomes of the registered students.

[Fresh whole blood transfusion for war surgery: the experience of the Kabul French combat support hospital from 2006 to 2009].
The specificities of military medicine have led to the maintenance of fresh whole blood (FWB) transfusion. ⋯ In our study, the FWB transfusion was not associated with incidents. Nonetheless, this practice should be used only for exceptional situations like military conflicts where risks of FWB are lower than the absence of transfusion.
