Our aim was to estimate the ED95 of prilocaine 1% w/v for femoral nerve block. ⋯ Our study demonstrates that the dose closest to the ED(95) of prilocaine 1% w/v for ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block is 17 ml. The study also illustrates the value of CRM in dose-finding experiments.

Although telemedicine is one of the key initiatives of the World Health Organization, no study has explored the feasibility and efficacy of teleanaesthesia. This bi-centre pilot study investigates the feasibility of transcontinental anaesthesia. ⋯ Transcontinental anaesthesia is feasible; control of anaesthesia shows good performance indexes. Clinical registration number NCT01331096.
