The Difference

Changes in blood blow and skin temperature have been measured in the arms of twenty patients under brachial plexus anaesthesia. A rise in each was noted in every patient. The patients were subdivided into two groups of ten. The anaesthetic administered to the patients of one group contained adrenaline (1 in 100,000), and the patients in the other group received the same anaesthetic but with no added adrenaline. The rise in flow volume, flow velocity and temperature was greater in the group which received adrenaline. The difference in change of flow volume was significant (P<0.05), the difference in temperature rise highly significant (P<0.01), but the difference in change of flow velocity was not significant.

Dash Questionnaire

Background: The objective of this paper was to determine the validity, reliability and internal consistency of the translated FILIPINO DASH (FIL-DASH) questionnaire in patients with traumatic brachial plexus injuries. Methods: Thirty-five adult patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury were enrolled in the validation stage. The same questionnaire was given to the patient between 7 to 14 days for the test-retest reliability. The validated Filipino version of the SF-36 was used as the gold standard to determine the construct validity of the translated DASH. We also compared the DASH score with the SF-36 total and subscale, validated Brief Pain Inventory Severity and Interference Scale and the Visual Acuity Scale (VAS) for Pain. Results: The internal consistency was adequate, with Cronbach’s Alpha for the 30 items of 0.93 and an average inter-item covariance of 0.399. The test-retest reliability was 0.87 (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in establising the validity of the translated DASH against SF-36 total and Subscale, validated Brief Pain Inventory Severity and Interference Scale and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Conclusions: The translated DASH (FIL-DASH) questionnaire was internally consistent and showed no difference in testing for test-retest reliability and validity against functional outcome measures and pain scales validated for adult Filipinos.
