Regional anaesthesia has many advantages over general anaesthesia as it provides a good perioperative pain relief, reduces systemic analgesic requirements, decreases poly pharmacy, avoids unnecessary airway manipulation, permits early ambulation and decreases chances of deep vein thrombosis.2 Fracture Femur is a common orthopaedic injury which causes severe pain and distress to the patient as the periosteum has the lowest pain threshold of the deep somatic structures3. Anaesthesia for femur surgeries is usually provided by subarachnoid block. Proper positioning during subarachnoid block is essential for a successful procedure. However, over riding of bone ends during movement worsens pain, delays positioning which in turn increases pain further. Alleviating pain increases patient comfort and also provides better patient positioning for subarachnoid block. Various drugs like Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, midazolam, ketamine, propofol have been in use to reduce the pain pre- operatively and improve positioning in these patients. Nerve blocks have come up as an effective and a safe alternative to provide pain relief . 1 Different techniques have been used to identify and block nerve fibres. Blockade of peripheral nerves have evolved a long way from blind approaches eliciting paresthesia initially, to the use of peripheral nerve stimulators and to the use of ultrasound off late. Earlier, nerve blocks were performed using landmark techniques and by eliciting paraesthesia. They were associated with highfailure rates and caused injury to the nerves and surrounding structures. Nerve stimulators were invented for higher success rates and to decrease the complications. It ensured a better blockade than conventional paraesthesia technique. But both these methods can cause neurovascular injuries leading to permanent nerve damage. Ultrasound is gaining importance in recent years and has provided anaesthesiologists, an effective alternative tool for the identification and safe blockade of nerve fibres. This study is designed to compare Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block under ultrasound guidance and intravenous fentanyl for positioning during spinal anaesthesia in femur fractures. 2 AIM OF THE STUDY To compare the efficacy of Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block under ultrasound guidance and intravenous fentanyl for positioning during spinal anaesthesia in fracture femur surgeries. OBJECTIVES PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To compare 1. The analgesia obtained for positioning during spinal anaesthesia. 2. The ease of positioning and the time taken for giving spinal anaesthesia SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To compare 1. Hemodynamic parameters 2. Requirement of first rescue analgesic post operatively. 3 ULTRASONOGRAPHY The normal human hearing is in the range of 20 -20,000HZ. Ultrasound denotes sound waves with a frequency above the audible range.ie. more than 20,000 cycles per second. HISTORY OF ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE FOR NERVE BLOCKS: Ting and Sivagnanaratnam4 in 1989 were among the first to use ultrasonography to perform blocks. They were 100% successful with axillary nerve blocks and visualized the nerves around the axillary artery, the needle tip and the spread of local anaesthetic at all times. Kapral et al.5 in 1994 demonstrated that ultrasound guidance for supraclavicular blocks were safer and more effective compared to axillary nerve blocks. Later in 1997, they showed that the “three-in-one” lower limb blocks had a better success rate when done using ultrasound compared to nerve stimulation technique6. The local anaesthetic requirement to perform an effective nerve block was also reduced under ultrasound guidance7. The better quality of images of brachial plexus generated by researchers in Toronto with ultrasound further lead to the advancement of the use of ultrasound for localisation of nerves. 4 PRINCIPLE OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY8: Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce an image of structures through which they pass. Ultrasound waves are emitted from piezoelectric crystals present in the probe of the ultrasound transducer. When an electric current is applied to these crystals, they rapidly change shape and vibrate and emit ultrasound waves. The process converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and is called reverse piezoelectric effect. These waves travel at different rates through tissues

  • The Femoral Nerve Block Characteristics Using Ropivacaine 0.2% Alone, with Epinephrine, Or with Lidocaine and Epinephrine
    SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES THE FEMORAL NERVE BLOCK CHARACTERISTICS USING ROPIVACAINE 0.2% ALONE, WITH EPINEPHRINE, OR WITH LIDOCAINE AND EPINEPHRINE A.M. TAHA1,2 AND A.M. ABD-ELmaKSOUD31* Keywords: anesthetic techniques, regional, femoral; anaesthetics local, ropivacaine; equipment, ultrasound machines. Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the femoral nerve block characteristics (onset, success rate and duration) using ropivacaine 0.2% alone; with epinephrine, or with lidocaine and epinephrine compared with that using ropivacaine 0.5%. Methods: Ninety six patients were included in this prospective controlled double blind study and were randomly allocated into four equal groups (n=24). All the patients received ultrasound guided femoral nerve block using 15 ml of either ropivacaine 0.5% (group 1), ropivacaine 0.2% (group 2), ropivacaine 0.2% with epinephrine (group 3) and ropivacaine 0.2% with lidocaine and epinephrine (group 4). The block onset, success rate and duration were recorded. Results: The motor onset was significantly delayed in group 2 (compared with the other three groups) and in group 3 (compared with group 4). However, the block success rate and duration were comparable in the four groups. Conclusion: In femoral nerve block, ropivacaine 0.2% may have a comparable success rate and duration to ropivacaine 0.5% but with a remarkably delayed motor onset that may be improved by adding epinephrine. Addition of lidocaine may further accelerate the motor onset. Introduction The femoral nerve block (FNB) is a commonly indicated block, and ropivacaine is a widely used long acting local anesthetic (LA)1,2. Peripheral nerve blocks can provide excellent anesthesia and postoperative analgesia 3,4.

    The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas Institutional Review Board PROJECT SUMMARY Study Title: Ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block versus periarticular infiltration for pain management after total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial Principal Investigator: Irina Gasanova, MD Sponsor/Funding Source: Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management, UT Southwestern Medical School IRB Number: STU 122015-022 NCT Number: NCT02658240 Date of Document: 01 April 2016 Page 1 of 7 Purpose: In this randomized, controlled, observer-blinded study we plan to evaluate ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block with ropivacaine and periarticular infiltration with ropivacaine for postoperative pain management after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Background: Despite substantial advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of pain and availability of newer analgesic techniques, postoperative pain is not always effectively treated (1). Optimal pain management technique balances pain relief with concerns about safety and adverse effects associated with analgesic techniques. Currently, postoperative pain is commonly treated with systemic opioids, which are associated with numerous adverse effects including nausea and vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, pruritus, urinary retention, and respiratory depression (2). Use of regional and local anesthesia has been shown to reduce opioid requirements and opioid-related side effects. Therefore, their use has been emphasized (3, 4, 5, 6). Fascia Iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a field block that blocks the nerves from the lumbar plexus supplying the thigh (i.e., lateral femoral cutaneous femoral and obturator nerves). The obturator nerve is sometimes involved in the FICB but probably plays little role in postoperative pain relief for most surgeries of the hip and proximal femur.

Sublingual literally meaning is ''under the tongue'', administrating substance via mouth in such a way that the substance is rapidly absorbed via blood vessels under tongue. Sublingual route offers advantages such as bypasses hepatic first pass metabolic process which gives better bioavailability, rapid onset of action, patient compliance , self-medicated. Dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) is common among in all ages of people and more in pediatric, geriatric, psychiatric patients. In terms of permeability, sublingual area of oral cavity is more permeable than buccal area which is in turn is more permeable than palatal area. Different techniques are used to formulate the sublingual dosage forms. Sublingual drug administration is applied in field of cardiovascular drugs, steroids, enzymes and some barbiturates. This review highlights advantages, disadvantages, different sublingual formulation such as tablets and films, evaluation. Key Words: Sublingual delivery, techniques, improved bioavailability, evaluation. INTRODUCTION and direct access to systemic circulation, the oral Drugs have been applied to the mucosa for topical mucosal route is suitable for drugs, which are application for many years. However, recently susceptible to acid hydrolysis in the stomach or there has been interest in exploiting the oral cavity which are extensively metabolized in the liver.
