[Experiences with a method of continuous brachial plexus blockade following melanoma perfusion of an upper extremity].
A method of continuous brachial plexus blockade by an epidural catheter is reported. This kind of postoperative analgesia was applied to 10 patients over a period of 2-3 days after hyperthermic melanoma perfusion of the upper extremities. A sufficient analgetic effect was obtained by intermittent injection of local anesthetics.

Comparative Study[Comparative study between interscalenar and supraclavicular nerve block for the reposition of humero-scapular luxations].
We report experiences in 39 patients, on whom we carried out nerve blocks for shoulder reduction. In 20 cases we used the method described by Kulenkampff and in 19 cases we used the method described by Winnie. ⋯ There were no relevant clinical complications in our study. Because of possible serious incidents in both methods, a technical procedure and strict control of the patient should be observed.

Twenty five adults and children with fractured shaft of femur were given femoral nerve block for pain relief. The block was found to be useful for purposes of transportation and immobilization. The pain relief was complete if the fracture site was in the middle third of the femoral shaft. The block is easy, safe, economical and most useful in emergency and poor risk patients.
