Case Reports
A Case Report of a Pericapsular Nerve Group Block for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
A pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is an interfascial plane block that targets the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves. PENG blocks may be used for hip, vein, and groin surgeries. ⋯ A PENG block using a high volume of local anesthetics may be as effective as a lumbar plexus block. In this case report, we describe successful anesthesia management using PENG blocks in 2 patients who underwent TAVI.

Observational StudyContralateral oblique view can prevent dural puncture in fluoroscopy-guided cervical epidural access: a prospective observational study.
Although the contralateral oblique (CLO) view at 50°±5° is clinically useful for cervical epidural access, no previous studies have confirmed its safety. This prospective observational study was conducted to assess the safety profile, including the risk of dural puncture, in fluoroscopically guided cervical epidural access using the CLO view. ⋯ The fluoroscopy-guided CLO view at 50°±5° avoided dural puncture or spinal cord injury and decreased the incidence of false LOR during cervical epidural access with a paramedian approach.
