Randomized Controlled Trial
Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block with different volumes of Ropivacaine: a randomized trial in healthy volunteers.
Nerve block of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a predominantly sensory block. It reduces pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the non-responder rate is high. We hypothesized, that an increased volume of ropivacaine, would result in greater coverage of incisions used for THA. ⋯ A LFCN-block with increased volume of ropivacaine from 8 mL to 16 mL did not result in a greater coverage of posterior or lateral incision lines used for THA, but in a larger blocked sensory area.

Say what? Patients have poor immediate memory of major risks of interscalene block disclosed during the informed consent discussion.
Poor memory of disclosed risks can undermine informed consent and create medicolegal challenges. The extent to which patients remember the risks of peripheral nerve blockade following the informed consent discussion is unknown. This prospective cohort study evaluated patients' immediate memory of risks related to interscalene block (ISB) that were disclosed during the preoperative informed consent discussion. ⋯ Patients have poor immediate memory of the major risks related to ISB disclosed during the informed consent discussion. Under the present study conditions, the validity of the informed consent process for patients undergoing ISB may be undermined.
