Randomized Controlled Trial
Combined effect of left stellate ganglion blockade and topical administration of papaverine on left internal thoracic artery blood flow in patients undergoing coronary revascularization.
Left stellate ganglion blockade (LSGB) may have additive effect to topical administration of papaverine on prevention of vasospasm of left internal thoracic artery (LITA). ⋯ Combining LSGB with papaverine does not increase the LITA blood flow compared to when the papaverine is used alone. However, ganglion blockade reduces radial-femoral arterial pressure difference after CPB. Blockade can be achieved successfully under the ultrasound guidance without any complications.

Adductor canal block has become a popular mode of pain management after total knee arthroplasty. This study compared a single-injection adductor canal block (SACB) with continuous adductor canal block (CACB). The hypothesis was that the 2 groups would have equivalent analgesia at 48 hours post-neural blockade. ⋯ This study has limited inclusion and exclusion criteria and a well-controlled intervention. This clinical trial is expected to provide evidence of better therapy for the pain management after total knee arthroplasty.
