Background and Objectives. A prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to assess the effect of tramadol and ketamine, 50 mg, added to ropivacaine in brachial plexus anesthesia.Methods. Thirty-six ASA physical statuses I and II patients, between 18 and 60 years of age, scheduled for forearm and hand surgery under axillary brachial plexus block, were allocated to 3 groups. Group R received 0.375% ropivacaine in 40 mL, group RT received 0.375% ropivacaine in 40 mL with 50 mg tramadol, and group RK received 0.375% ropivacaine in 40 mL with 50 mg ketamine for axillary brachial plexus block. The onset times and the duration of sensory and motor blocks, duration of analgesia, hemodynamic parameters, and adverse events (nausea, vomiting, and feeling uncomfortable) were recorded.Results. The onset time of sensorial block was the fastest in ropivacaine + tramadol group. Duration of sensorial and motor block was the shortest in the ropivacaine + tramadol group. Duration of analgesia was significantly longer in ropivacaine + tramadol group.Conclusion. We conclude that when added to brachial plexus analgesia at a dose of 50 mg, tramadol extends the onset and duration time of the block and improves the quality of postoperative analgesia without any side effects.

Quality of axillary brachial plexus block.

Plexus Block

Intraoperative combination of monolateral spinal anesthesia and prolonged brachial plexus block is evaluated in 65 children with autotransplantation of fingers from foot to hand. Variability of heart rhythm demonstrated autonomous stability in the main group. Dynamical study of skin temperature and dopplerographic evaluation demonstrated local sympatholysis in the blocked extremity. Significant improvement of circulation and quality of analgesia is revealed in case of prolonged perineural use of local anesthetics in the postoperative period. Described combination of intra- and postoperative treatment of such patients makes complex treatment more effective.
