Observational StudyComparison of the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of US-guided caudal block and US-guided pudendal nerve block in circumcision.
To compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy and postoperative complications of the pudendal nerve block (PNB) and caudal block (CB) with ultrasound (US). ⋯ This first prospective study in the literature shows that US-guided PNB provided a more pronounced and longer analgesic effect and resulted in less requirement for postoperative analgesics than US-guided CB.

Observational StudyLocating Adductor Canal and Quantifying the Median Effective Volume of Ropivacaine for Adductor Canal Block by Ultrasound.
To identify the precise position of adductor canal; and to determine median effective volume (EV50) for adductor canal block (ACB) by ultrasound. ⋯ The midpoint between the femoral trochanter and the superior margin of patella is in the adductor canal. EV50 of 0.5% ropivacaine for ACB is 10.79 ml (95% CI, 10.10-11.52 ml). Key Words: Adductor canal, Location, Ultrasound, Median effective volume, Nerve block.
