Comparative Study[Use of statistics and the accessibility of original articles published in 3 anesthesiology journals].
To determine the use of various statistical analyses and the degree of analysis-dependent and article-dependent accessibility to the reader of publications in anesthesiology journals with impact factors (included in the Science Citation Index) in comparison with Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación. ⋯ As a result of marked advances in the use of statistics in anesthesiology journals, readers are seeing more applications of higher-level statistics. Readers must therefore acquire greater knowledge of statistics in order to understand the methods used in original research publications. The results we report for analysis-dependent accessibility show that Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación is easier to understand for readers with knowledge of middle-level statistics. Both Anesthestiology and the British Journal of Anaesthesia publish articles that apply more complex statistical analyses.

Clinical Trial[Midfemoral nerve block for foot surgery: is there an anatomical-clinical correlation between motor response and latency?].
The latency times of midfemoral sciatic nerve blocks vary greatly. This study investigated the correlation between the type of motor response to nerve stimulation on the one hand and latency and block efficacy on the other. ⋯ This approach provides an effective block with minimum latency in patients who have a flexion or extension motor response in the foot and/or fingers, inversion, or plantar flexion, which assumes that the injection has reached the common trunk of the sciatic or tibial nerve. However, a longer latency is associated with a peroneal motor response, particularly eversion.
