Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of intrathecal morphine and continuous femoral 3-in-1 block for pain after major knee surgery under spinal anaesthesia.
Major knee surgery is associated with moderate or severe post-operative pain. Intrathecal morphine and continuous femoral 3-in-1 block were compared prospectively in 40 patients for pain after major knee surgery under spinal anaesthesia, with 4 mL isobaric 0.5% bupivacaine. In a random order, 20 patients received preservative free morphine 0.3 mg mixed with spinal bupivacaine. ⋯ Other side effects were similar in the two groups. All patients were satisfied with their pain therapy. Both intrathecal morphine and femoral 3-in-1 block alone were insufficient for the treatment of severe pain after major knee surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Brachial plexus anesthesia via an axillary route for emergency surgery: comparison of three approach methods].
To compare three techniques of brachial plexus blockade for emergency surgery of the upper limb. ⋯ As these three techniques for brachial plexus block in emergency surgery are comparable, no one can be recommended instead of the others.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialCardiovascular effects of two different regional anaesthetic techniques for unilateral leg surgery.
Cardiovascular function was assessed in 20 ASA I-II patients, scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery with tourniquet in order to compare the haemodynamic changes induced by unilateral spinal anaesthesia and combined sciatico-femoral nerve block. ⋯ Both sciatico-femoral and unilateral spinal blockade provide adequate anaesthesia for unilateral leg surgery with tourniquet. The former technique affects cardiovascular performance less than the latter one.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialBupivacaine infiltration into the neurovascular bundle of the prostatic nerve does not improve postoperative pain or recovery following transvesical prostatectomy.
We assessed the effect of intraoperative bupivacaine infiltration into the neurovascular bundle of the prostatic nerve on postoperative pain and patient outcome. ⋯ Following transvesical prostatectomy, prostatic nerve blockade has no beneficial effects on postoperative pain or patient outcome.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Postoperative analgesia with "3-in-1" femoral nerve block after prosthetic hip surgery.
To evaluate the efficacy of a single shot "3-in-1" femoral nerve block for prosthetic hip surgery in association with general anaesthesia on post-operative analgesia. ⋯ There is a short-term benefit during the first few postoperative hours in using a single shot "3-in-1" femoral nerve block to complement general anaesthesia for elective hip surgery.
