In this study, IVKT was a safe analgesic in the setting of primary ESS. There was no increased risk of hemorrhage or acute blood-loss anemia. IVKT did not appear to offer statistically significant pain control over IVF.

We evaluated the anesthetic and recovery profiles of 60- and 80-mg doses of plain mepivacaine for ambulatory spinal anesthesia. Both doses produced comparable sensory and motor block. Sensory and motor regression and ambulatory milestones were 20-30 min longer with the 80-mg dose. Side effects were negligible and transient neurological symptoms were not reported during a 24-h follow-up.

Anesthesiologists frequently perform retrobulbar blocks while simultaneously providing sedation. Using ketamine to supplement propofol sedation provided a faster onset and improved the quality of sedation during the retrobulbar block procedure.
