[Femoral nerve block as a postoperative analgesia technic in surgery of the knee].
A femoral nerve block was performed as a postoperative analgesic technique in 50 patients after knee surgery; this surgery is a very painful one. The technique used was the inguinal route, as described in the textbooks. ⋯ The average duration of analgesia was 600 min, the shortest being 300 min, the longest being 1,200 min. This technique can be recommended after surgery of the knee as safe and reliable.

Femoral and lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh blocks have been performed in a group of 50 children; the method has not previously been described in paediatric practice. The technique was judged to have been successful in 48 (96%) of the children. There were no early or late complications. It is concluded that these blocks are easy to perform, even in small children and infants, and that they can produce reliable postoperative analgesia for a variety of orthopaedic and plastic procedures.

Case Reports[Recurrent nerve paralysis and Claude Bernard-Horner syndrome following an interscalene block of the brachial plexus].
The association of a recurrent laryngeal block with a Horner's syndrome occurred in one patient after right interscalene brachial plexus block. Hoarseness was the main clinical symptom of recurrent paralysis and lasted 4 h. The subsequent course was totally uneventful and required no specific treatment. But the interscalene route of brachial plexus block may be potentially hazardous in the patient with a full stomach.
