Regional-Anaesthesie
|July 1, 1983
Summary
Catheter axillary block offers effective analgesia for non-cooperative patients undergoing surgery. This technique provides rapid pain relief without patient assistance, proving valuable in challenging anesthetic management.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Regional Anesthesia
- Surgical Procedures
Context:
- Managing non-cooperative patients presents unique anesthetic challenges.
- Effective pain management is crucial for acute and elective surgical procedures.
- Axillary brachial plexus block is a recognized regional anesthesia technique.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of catheter axillary block in non-cooperative patients.
- To assess the speed and independence of analgesia achieved with this technique.
- To determine the suitability of catheter axillary block for difficult anesthetic cases.
Summary:
- A flexible intravenous cannula was used for axillary brachial plexus block in 36 non-cooperative patients.
- Local anesthetic was injected via the catheter without adverse events.
- Rapid and effective analgesia was achieved for surgical procedures in all participants.
Impact:
- Catheter axillary block provides a reliable anesthetic option for non-cooperative individuals.
- This technique simplifies the management of high-risk surgical patients.
- It offers a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia in select cases.
