“…2 However it provides anesthesia of entire upper extremity in the most consistent and time efficient manner and also provides both intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia without any systemic side effects. 3 The success rate of the block can be further enhanced by using electric nerve stimulator to identify the nerves and depositing the drug perineurally. 4 Variety of local anesthetics can be used to perform ideal and complete block.…”

“…Additional benefits of Regional anaesthesia include but not limited to; reduced incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, thromboembolic events, better postoperative analgesia, reduced blood loss and transfusion requirements when compared to general anaesthesia, length of hospital stay, incidence of complication rates as well as improvement in the overall outcome of surgery. 5,[9][10][11][12][13] General anaesthesia on the other hand may induce potential complications, such as adverse reactions to drugs, increase pulmonary and airway -related complication rates, severe hypotension, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. 6 Modern technology has produced better equipments than was hitherto available with the result that spinal anaesthesia is undoubtedly simple, portable, cheaper and above all safer than it used to be.…”

Introduction: Worldwide, uterine fibroid is the commonest gynaecological tumour in women. The standard treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroid is surgery. This is facilitated using anaesthesia, which could be general or Central neuraxial block (Regional anaesthesia, RA). In Nigeria, most women present late with huge fibroids which is a main determinant of the mode of anaesthesia. While general anaesthesia (GA) is more commonly used, it is not without challenges necessitating the increasing use of Regional anaesthesia (RA) which is thought to be more beneficial for the patient. This study seeks to audit the anaesthetic practice for fibroid surgeries over a five year period in our Institution, assess the role of RA and to generate awareness with a view to increasing its utilization for fibroid surgeries. Material and methods: The Nurses' and Doctors 'theatre records were reviewed for Socio demographics, type of anaesthesia, type of surgery and uterine size. Result: Summary of statistics was done using percentages, means and standard deviation. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Five hundred and twenty five (525) surgeries were performed for women with uterine fibroid with an age range of 20-65years.Two hundred and fifteen (215/41%) patients had GA, while 284 (54.1%) had RA. Twenty six patients (26.4.9%) had spinal anaesthesia that failed and had to be converted to GA. Conclusion: There was a yearly increase in the use of RA, and a yearly decline in the use of GA. Regional Anaesthesia is the more commonly used mode of anaesthesia for fibroid surgeries in our institution

“…This could probably be due to fewer requests of regional anesthesia in developing countries (1,2). Neuraxial regional anesthesia has gained worldwide popularity for lower extremity orthopedic surgeries (3). It includes lower mortality rates, shorter hospital stays, decreased patient costs, and decreased inhospital complications (4,5).…”

Background: Anesthesiology is an improving specialty, which plays a major role in developing preoperative patient care. As the field of anesthesiology improves, the options to apply better anesthetic procedures emerge. Furthermore, Neuraxial anesthesia increases the chances of better outcome for the patients. However, neuraxial anesthesia has not become the favorite choice of anesthesia method by all physicians and patients so far. Objectives:The aim of present study was to assess elective orthopedic trauma patient's preference on the choice of anesthesia method and their primarily reasons for their choices. Methods: Overall, 170 adult patients underwent elective orthopedic surgery after encountering various orthopedic traumas. It is important to note that the patients entered the study in a prospective cross sectional manner during a period of six months. A structured questionnaire consisting of two parts was used to interview the patients. The first part included the demographic data and the preferred anesthesia technique and the reasons for supporting these techniques. The second part was designed to assess the level of knowledge regarding the anesthesia methods. Results: Amongst 171 patients, 104 (60.8%) chose regional anesthesia (RA) in comparison with 67 (39.2%), who preferred general anesthesia (GA). The correlation between age and choice of anesthesia was significant (P = 0.001). Level of education neither affected the preferred choice of anesthesia (P = 0.651) nor the satisfaction score (P = 0.363). The satisfaction score with respect to received
