B217 Figure 3 Local anesthetic distribution Sciatic nerve (ScN)Results Both patients and surgeons reported proper surgical conditions and long-lasting postoperative analgesia (72 hours). There were no requests for additional analgesia and PCAs use was minimum. Patients reported satisfaction with analgesic treatment. Conclusions Multiple peripheral nerve blockades are an efficient and safe alternative for lower limbs amputation, being more convenient and safer than general anesthesia and neuraxial anesthesia in selected patients. A good performance in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is required(2). Multiple peripheral nerve blockades are recommended as an anesthetic technique for lower limbs amputations in selected patients.
the implantation: the Womac Pain Index decrease from 60 to 25, Womac function from 58 to 20. In BPI scale: pain intensity passed from 6 to 3 and pain interference from 7 to 2.NO peri-operative Conclusions This novel wireless neurostimulator proved effective in controlling a chronic knee pain, improving person's quality of life. The absence of a required subcutaneous unit is a clear advantage for the managing of this device, especially in the outpatient setting. However, it needs to be implanted by expert operators and requires a careful follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
