Background:Whether the method of local anesthetic administration for continuous femoral nerve blocks-basal infusion versus repeated hourly bolus doses-influences block effects remains unknown. Methods: Bilateral femoral perineural catheters were inserted in volunteers (n ϭ 11). Ropivacaine 0.1% was concurrently administered through both catheters: a 6-h continuous 5 ml/h basal infusion on one side and 6 hourly bolus doses on the contralateral side. The primary endpoint was

A large proportion of revenues generated from SBE cases come in the form of ancillary services provided by anesthesia. Projected revenue generation (and it sources) should be considered when establishing a device-assisted enteroscopy program.
