A new single-position supine approach to sciatic-femoral nerve block.

To overcome the disadvantages of other methods, the authors have devised a procedure for below-the-knee operations, involving a new technic of sciatic-femoral nerve block. The technic has so far been successful without use of adjuvant agents in 90 percent of over 100 patients so handled.

Faint in the supine position. Selective review of the literature and a case report.

A case of faint occurred in a patient undergoing periodontal surgery with intravenous conscious-sedation in the horizontal position. The faint occurred 3 hours and 40 minutes into the procedure, immediately following the extraction of a maxillary molar that could not be salvaged due to excessive bone loss. Since the patient was judged to be adequately sedated by both the operator and the anesthetist, the faint could not be attributed to anxiety. Recent evidence suggests that somatosensory stimulation of the trigeminal nerve may produce a reflex parasympathetic discharge that could account for some syncopal episodes observed during dental procedures.

[Roentgen image of the trachea in the supine position in substernal struma: a further possibility in avoiding radioiodine diagnosis].

It is recommended in substernal struma in the X-ray picture of the trachea prior to the X-ray picture in sitting position to make an X-ray picture in lying position, when the substernal part of the struma is not unequivocally to be seen in the 99mTc scintigram. Thus in many cases the discrepancy may be clarified and the radioiodine diagnostics be avoided.

Direct coronal computed tomography of the lumbar spine: a new technical approach in supine position.

Computed tomography (CT) was carried out on 46 subjects with L5-S1 disk hernia. All the patients had a L5-S1 angle equal or greater than 40 degrees. Coronal sections of the disk were obtained with a rostral angulation of the gantry, having placed the lumbar spine in a hyperlordotic position. Results are discussed and compared with those obtained from para-axial transverse sections and multidirectional reformated images.
