The aim of this examination was a study of hydrogels on the base of various types of the natural polymer chitosan with an assay of local anaesthetics of the carbamate type. The concentration of the gel-creating compound in hydrogels was 2.5%. The study included heptacainiumchloride (HEP), pentacainiumchloride (PEN) and carbisocainiumchloride (CAR). Evaluation was focused on the flow properties of prepared gels and the liberation of drugs from them. Based on the achieved results, the optimal type of biopolymer was determined: PEN - CHIT B, for CAR - CHIT C, while in the case of HEP it was found that chitosan is not suitable as a gel-creating base.

Comparison of costoclavicular and lateral sagittal infraclavicular approaches in ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block.

Objectives: Lateral sagittal infraclavicular approach is frequently used because it has less risk of complications and provides rapid and adequate regional anesthesia. Due to the fact that the brachial plexus is deeper in the infraclavicular region and the approach angle is sharper, it can be technically challenging. In this study, we aimed to compare the costoclavicular approach, which is a newly defined approach, with the lateral sagittal infraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Local anesthesia is a routine medical procedure for dentists. To achieve the desired anesthetic effect of lidocaine and favorable hemostatic effects by adrenaline, the combination of 2% lidocaine + 1:80,000 adrenaline is commonly used, including in dental patients with underlying diseases for whom adrenaline in local anesthetics is problematic due to its vasoconstrictive effects, as the adrenaline concentration in dental local anesthetic cartridges in Japan is commercially set at 1:80,000. To reduce the effect of adrenaline on the cardiovascular system, adrenaline is sometimes diluted in dental local anesthetic cartridges.

Management of refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients with implantable implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) presents a therapeutic challenge. We present a case of pediatric refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT)/Torsade de Pointe managed effectively with bilateral stellate ganglion block (SGB) with a long-acting local anesthetic for 18 days as a bridge to more definitive surgical management.

Objectives: In this study, the spread of methylene blue was compared between an ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block and a double injection technique, where the approach towards the inferomedial acetabulum was added to the latter.
Methods: The two techniques were performed in 11 fresh frozen cadavers. The spread was measured after anatomical dissection in which the supplying femoral and obturator nerves were identified.
