This report describes a case of postanesthetic brachial triceps myonecrosis affecting only the left forelimb of a horse. A fatal unilateral postanesthetic myonecrosis has not been previously reported in the horse. This article describes the factors in the horse's history, the anesthetic protocol, and the treatment that may have led to this condition.

Comparison of the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia between general anesthesia and interscalene brachial plexus block in shoulder arthroscopy: A randomized prospective study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2024

Article Synopsis
- Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH), which occurs when core body temperature falls below 36°C, is a common complication during shoulder arthroscopy, especially under general anesthesia (GA).
- A study comparing GA and interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) found a significantly higher incidence of IPH in the GA group (52.5%) compared to the ISBPB group (30.0%).
- The results suggest that using ISBPB instead of GA may help reduce the risk of IPH, as evidenced by higher post-anesthesia care unit temperatures in the ISBPB group.
Block performance indices of perivascular and perineural techniques of ultrasound-guided axillary block in upper limb surgeries: A comparative study.
Ann Afr Med

Department of Anaesthesia, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Background: Nerve block anesthesia is a common regional anesthesia used for upper limb surgeries because of its ability to target the operative site and provision of impressive postanesthetic pain relief. This randomized, single-blinded study compared the quality of block of the perineural (PN) and perivascular (PV) techniques of axillary brachial plexus block under ultrasound guidance.
Methods: Sixty-six participants were recruited into either PV or PN groups.
Comparison of Continuous and Programmed Intermittent Bolus Infusion of 0.2% Ropivacaine after Ultrasound-Guided Continuous Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery.

Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Yangsan, Republic of Korea.
Background: Despite the clinical effectiveness of the programmed intermittent bolus (PIB) method for epidural analgesia, evidence for this method in continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (CIBPB) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the pain relief effect after arthroscopic shoulder surgery according to the administration method by comparing the PIB and continuous infusion methods among the administration methods of local anesthetics.
Methods: Sixty-four patients aged >19 years scheduled for elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery were enrolled and divided into two groups.
Initiation Timing of Continuous Interscalene Brachial Plexus Blocks in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Before-and-After Study.

A continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (CIBPB) is usually administered before surgery in awake patients. However, the use of CIBPB before surgery could hinder the identification of nerve injuries after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). This study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of preoperatively and postoperatively initiated CIBPBs in patients undergoing TSA.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) is a reliable and objective method for assessing the adequacy of infraclavicular block and to describe the time course of StO2 changes. In this prospective observational study, StO2 was measured in 40 patients planned for elective hand surgery under infraclavicular block. Noninvasive StO2 monitoring was used prior to ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block and during the first 30 min of the blockade.
