Bloqueo bilateral del grupo de nervios pericapsulares (PENG) como analgesia en cirugía de cadera infantil

Effective management and control of peri- and postoperative pain in hip surgery is essential in order to minimize the use of opioids and their adverse effects. Effective regional analgesia for hip pain is made particularly challenging by the complex innervation of the hip joint. Standard regional techniques can be associated with complications, including incomplete anesthesia, hypotension, or lower limb weakness. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl with a history of infantile cerebral palsy who underwent bilateral varus derotation osteotomy and adductor tenotomy due to paralytic dislocation. She received bilateral PENG block and femoral cutaneous nerve block - a simple technique that covers all the nerves involved in the sensory innervation of the joint capsule without the need for multiple injections.     

竖脊肌平面阻滞超前镇痛对老年胸腔镜肺癌根治术患者心肌的保护作用

目的探讨竖脊肌平面阻滞（ESPB）超前镇痛对老年胸腔镜肺癌根治术患者心肌的保护作用。 方法选择在惠州市中心人民医院择期行胸腔镜肺癌根治术的老年患者40例，按照患者意愿分组，其中19例采用ESPB联合全身麻醉（观察组），21例采用单纯全身麻醉（对照组）。在两组诱导前（T0）、手术开始1 h（T1）、手术结束时（T2）及术后4 h（T3）检测患者的肌钙蛋白Ⅰ（cTnⅠ）、心型脂肪酸结合蛋白（H-FABP）、肌酸激酶同工酶（CK-MB），并记录各时间点的平均动脉压（MAP）和心率。计量资料的组间比较采用t检验，重复测量资料采用重复测量方差分析。 结果两组患者MAP、心率、cTnⅠ、H-FABP、CK-MB的差异均呈现组间效应、时间效应和交互效应（MAP：F=24.021、33.512、9.184，心率：F=10.340、46.992、3.494，cTnⅠ：F=5.354、691.994、64.177，H-FABP：F=7.906、14.067、11.560，CK-MB：F=15.926、84.106、4.116，P<0.05或0.01）。与T0时间点比较，两组患者T1、T2、T3时间点MAP、心率、H-FABP、CK-MB均出现明显变化（P<0.05），T2、T3时间点cTnⅠ出现明显变化（P<0.05）。 结论老年胸腔镜肺癌根治术中应用ESPB超前镇痛，可明显降低心肌损伤相关因子水平，起到心肌保护作用。     

Winograd surgery can be performed under partial digital block in patients with ingrown toenails

BackgroundWinograd procedures performed under a partial digital block with a single needle to the surgical side instead of the entire toe were not evaluated. This study aimed to examine the clinical results of classic ring block and partial digital block performed during Winograd procedures in cases of ingrown toenails.MethodsA total of 210 patients underwent Winograd surgery were divided into two groups according to the type of anesthesia used as follows: traditional ring block (TRB) and partial digital block (PDB). Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Heifetz stage patient satisfaction levels, recurrence rates, and need for reoperation were recorded.ResultsCompared with the PDB group, the during operation VAS score was statistically significantly higher in the TRB group (p = 0001). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of postoperative satisfaction, recurrence (p = 0294), and reoperation rates (p = 0651).ConclusionsThis study is the first to show that adequate anesthetic efficacy can be achieved with a less invasive intervention for Winograd procedures.
