Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of 0.2% ropivacaine and 0.25% bupivacaine for axillary brachial plexus blocks in paediatric hand surgery.
The purpose of this study was to compare the use of ropivacaine 0.2% with bupivacaine 0.25% for axillary brachial plexus block in children undergoing hand surgery. ⋯ Ropivacaine 0.2% is as effective as bupivacaine 0.25% for axillary brachial plexus blocks in children undergoing hand surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of the parasacral approach and the posterior approach, with single- and double-injection techniques, to block the sciatic nerve.
The purpose of this study was to compare parasacral and Winnie's single- or double-injection approaches for sciatic nerve block. ⋯ Time to perform a parasacral block was short, and the parasacral approach had a high success rate and a short onset time. Therefore, this block might be a useful alternative to Winnie's modification for sciatic nerve block.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of fentanyl on pain and hemodynamic response after retrobulbar block in patients having phacoemulsification.
To determine the effects of systemic fentanyl analgesia in preventing the pain related to the administration of retrobulbar anesthesia and cataract surgery. ⋯ The results suggest that fentanyl preemptively decreases injection and intraoperative hyperalgesia and provides hemodynamic stability without affecting patient cooperation, resulting in cataract surgery with retrobulbar anesthesia that is comfortable for both surgeon and patient.
