Conduction Anesthesia

Conductive anesthesia as a therapeutic agent for injuries and diseases of the lower extremities is rarely performed. This is primarily due to the fact that the posterior approach is mainly used to perform the sciatic nerve block, which requires special positioning of the patient and is not suitable for inserting a catheter. The most convenient in this respect is the front access to the sciatic nerve. We catheterized the sciatic nerve according to V.V. Kuzmenkov et al. The method of long-term conduction block of the sciatic nerve (DPBS) was performed in 23 patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effects of right sciatic nerve compression and cryotherapy on muscle tissue. Methods: We used 42 male Wistar rats, subdivided in the following Groups Control, Injury 3, Injury 8 and Injury 15 submitted to nerve compression and euthanized in the 3rd, 8th and 15th day after surgery. The Cryotherapy Injury 3 was entailed treatment with cryotherapy by immersion of the animal in recipient for 20 minutes during 1 day, then animals were euthanized at the 3rd day after surgery, and the Cryotherapy Injury 8 and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 was treated for 6 days, and euthanized at the 8th and 15th day after surgery. Functional evaluation was performed by the grasping strength of the right pelvic limb. The right tibialis anterior muscles were evaluated for mass, smaller diameter and cross-sectional area. In the Cryotherapy Injury 8 and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 groups, the hydroxyproline was dosed in the right soles. Results: In the compression there was a significant difference in the Injury Groups compared with the Control Group (p<0.05). In the smaller diameter, the compression in Control Group was higher than Injury 8 (p=0.0094), Injury 15 (p=0.002) and Cryotherapy Injury 15 (p<0.001) groups. The comparison between groups with euthanasia in the same post-operative period, a significant difference (p=0.0363) was seen in day 8th after surgery, and this result in Cryotherapy Injury Group was greater than Injury Group. In the fiber area, Control Group was also higher than the Injury 8 (p=0.0018), the Injury 15 (p<0.001) and the Cryotherapy Injury 15 (p<0.001). In hydroxyproline, no significant difference was seen between groups. Conclusion: Nerve damage resulted in decreased muscle strength and trophism, the cryotherapy delayed hypotrophy, but this effect did not persist after cessation of treatment.

Abstract Background and Aims Vascular access remains a significant challenge for patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) and often requires creative thinking to preserve and construct durable long-term access. While AVFs continue to remain the gold standard for vascular access, HD access remains an ongoing challenge for surgeons and patients. The cases This report is about 4 ESRD patients on chronic hemodialysis with multiple closed A-V fistulas (left and right radiocephalic then left and right brachiocephalic). Also, they suffered from catheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI) when central lines were inserted so the vascular sureon had to find solutions for them. First patient was 36-year old hemodialysis patient since 1995 2ry to posterior urethral valve. In 1994, he sought renal transplantation from his motivated brother who was the only available living related donor but unfortunately the surgeon discovered a congenital anomaly in the donor side during surgery. So the patient was maintained on hemodialysis. After multiple thrombosed AVF and recurrent episodes of CRBSI with central lines, the vascular surgeons inserted a synthetic graft on left chest wall between axillary artery and axillary vein 3 years ago and it is well functioning with efficient dialysis. The 2nd case (figure 1) is a 42-year old graft failure patient since 2005 and In view of high PRA, 2nd renal transplantation was not an option. After multiple thrombosed AVF and recurrent episodes of CRBSI with central lines, the vascular surgeons created a new fistula in lower extremities between right great saphenous vein and common femoral artery 2 years ago and it is still functioning. The 3rd case (figure 2) is about 14-year old child who received renal allo-transplantation from his father 8 years ago. Now, he is on chronic hemodialysis. First, he underwent peritoneal dialysis. But he suffered from recurrent peritonitis, so he was shifted to hemodialysis. Unfortunately, he suffered from CRBSI with catheters and multiple AVF were thrombosed. So, vascular surgeons performed arterio-arterial synthetic graft using right subclavian artery which is well functioning over 2 years. The 4th case (figure 3) is about 43-year old graft failure case on chronic hemodialysis with widespread thrombosis and difficult central line fixation. Also,AV fistulas had short survival. So, vascular surgeons decided to create AVF in lower extremities between right greater saphenous vein and superficial femoral artery 2 years ago. The patient after that received warfarin and the graft is functioning well till now. Conclusion Hemodialysis access remains an ongoing challenge for surgeons and patients lives.
