Objective: To explore the effect of continuous lumbar plexus block guided by the "Shamrock method" on postoperative analgesia and hemodynamics in elderly patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: From January 2020 to December 2020 in our hospital, 98 patients who underwent TKA were selected. Using the random number table method, the patients were divided into two groups: a continuous lumbar plexus block group (group L), with 49 patients, and a continuous femoral nerve block group (group F), with 49 patients.

Background: The clinical reliability and reproducibility of ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus blocks is not established in pediatric populations. We present the results of a combined nerve stimulation ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block using the vertebral body, transverse process, and psoas muscle as landmarks on a transverse lumbar paravertebral sonogram with mid-axillary transducer placement, "shamrock method," in children and adolescents.

Aims: Our primary objective was to determine the rate of achieving sensory changes in the lumbar plexus distribution.
