Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Application of separating brachial plexus block combined with preoperative analgesia by patient controlled intravenous analgesia in tendon repair].
To investigate whether the separating brachial plexus block combined with preoperative analgesia by patient controlled analgesia (PCA) can be applied in tendon repair and postoperative active or passive functional exercise. ⋯ The separating brachial plexus block combined with preoperative analgesia by 2 kinds of PCIA dispensation can be both applied in tendon repair, but the separating effect of brachial plexus block of group B was superior to the group C.

In recent years there has been a renewed interest in regional anaesthesia, particularly peripheral nerve blockade, not only to improve the patient's well being, but also to meet the requirements of modern orthopaedic surgery. Nerve injury in this context is the complication most feared by the patient, the anaesthesiologist and the surgeon. ⋯ Significant advances have been made in regional anaesthesia in the past 10 years. The introduction of catheter techniques has cleared the way for better regional anaesthetic and analgesic blocks. Studies dealing with placement of perineural catheters show that the catheter does not increase neurological complications. Properly performed, regional anaesthesia is a safe form of anaesthesia and the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
The sciatic nerve block in emergency settings: a comparison between a new anterior and the classic lateral approaches.
Anterior and lateral approaches to the sciatic nerve block are performed with the patient in the supine position. This could be an important advantage when mobilization to the limb involved is limited or painful, particularly in emergency conditions. The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to compare these two sciatic nerve blockades performed in an emergency setting. ⋯ These data suggest that both techniques are of similar value in an emergency setting.
