Efficacy of Perineural Dexmedetomidine in Ultrasound-guided Interscalene Block on Rebound Pain after Shoulder Arthroscopy.
This prospective, randomized, double-blind trial was performed to investigate the effect on rebound pain incidence of mixing dexmedetomidine (DEX) with local anesthetics in a combined injection interscalene block (ISB) during shoulder arthroscopy. ⋯ Perineural DEX added to ISB exerts a beneficial effect on the incidence of rebound pain after ISB in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. Perineural DEX facilitated the implementation of multimodal analgesia in the early stage after operation.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on subarachnoid anesthesia in patients undergoing total knee replacement: a randomised controlled trial.
Intravenous lidocaine is a non-opioid analgesic adjunct for perioperative pain relief. The aim of our study was to explore whether concurrent administration of intravenous lidocaine prolongs the duration of sensory block during total knee replacement (TKR) under spinal anaesthesia. ⋯ During unilateral TKR under spinal anaesthesia, concurrent use of intravenous lidocaine prolonged sensory block and reduced postoperative analgesic requirements.
