Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

413
Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Two sequential subcostal transversus abdominis plane blocks (2scTAPI) achieved significantly greater nerve coverage in cadavers compared to a single injection (1scTAPI). This suggests 2scTAPI may offer improved anterior abdominal wall analgesia.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Regional Anesthesia
  • Anatomical Studies

Background:

  • Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (scTAPB) offers anterior abdominal wall analgesia but has limited and variable spread.
  • Continuous injection techniques for scTAPB are challenging due to hydrodissection difficulties.
  • Investigating alternative methods to enhance scTAPB efficacy is crucial for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the nerve coverage of two sequential scTAPB injections (2scTAPI) versus a single scTAPB injection (1scTAPI).
  • To evaluate the extent of dye spread to anterior abdominal wall nerves using cadaveric models.

Main Methods:

  • 16 cadaveric subjects were used, with dye injected under ultrasound guidance.
  • One side received a single 20mL injection (1scTAPI) along the costal margin.
  • The contralateral side received 20mL split into two injections (2scTAPI), medial and lateral to the semilunaris line.

Main Results:

  • 2scTAPI reached a median of 5 (IQR 5-6) consecutive nerves, significantly more than 1scTAPI's median of 3 (IQR 3-4).
  • 2scTAPI demonstrated spread covering nerves T8-T12 in 85% of subjects.
  • 1scTAPI primarily covered nerves T9-T11.

Conclusions:

  • Two sequential scTAPB injections provide a larger spread at the costal margin in cadavers.
  • 2scTAPI suggests greater coverage of anterior abdominal wall nerves compared to 1scTAPI.
  • Further clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings.
