Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Axillary plexus block with long-acting local anaesthetics (a comparative study of etidocaine and bupivacaine) (author's transl)].
Brachial and axillary plexus blockade was carried out on volunteers using a mixture of etidocaine 1% with adrenaline, and bupivacine 0,5% with adrenaline. Both drugs are long-acting local anaesthetics. ⋯ With the latter motor blockade seems to be more strongly influenced and significantly outlasts sensory sympathetic nerve block. The results and findings of other authors are discussed, and whether the different behaviour of the 2 long acting local anaesthetics in this context implies a different affinity of the drugs to the different types of nerves.

A new single-position supine approach to sciatic-femoral nerve block.
To overcome the disadvantages of other methods, the authors have devised a procedure for below-the-knee operations, involving a new technic of sciatic-femoral nerve block. The technic has so far been successful without use of adjuvant agents in 90 percent of over 100 patients so handled.
