Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAn assessment of the value of rectus sheath block for postlaparoscopic pain in gynecologic surgery.
To compare the effect of the bilateral rectus sheath block (BRSB) by bupivacaine in decreasing postlaparoscopic pain with the intraperitoneal (IP) and intraincisional (II) use of this drug. ⋯ Bilateral rectus sheath block can effectively decrease postlaparoscopic pain at 6 and 10 hours after the operation when compared with IP and II use of bupivacaine.

Development of a standardized peripheral nerve block procedure note form.
Despite the tremendous growth of peripheral nerve blocks, no standard format exists to document their performance. Our objective was to create a peripheral nerve block form based on key elements of literature evidence and on our own group consensus. ⋯ A form was developed to help meet the medical, legal, and billing requirements of documentation consistent with the performance of peripheral nerve block.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Are peripheral nerve blocks of the leg (femoralis in combination with anterior sciatic blockade) as sole anaesthetic technique an alternative to epidural anaesthesia].
We compared peripheral nerve blocks (PNB, femoral nerve block together with anterior sciatic nerve block) as sole anaesthetic with epidural anaesthesia (EA) in a randomised study in patients undergoing elective arthroscopic knee surgery with respect to patient satisfaction and time required to perform each procedure. ⋯ Patients in the PNB and EA group both were satisfied with their anaesthetic procedure. While there are obviously differences in favour of the EA, PNB is an alternative in the case of contraindication or patient rejection to EA.
