Using a 20 mL lidocaine 2% when combined with epinephrine 1:200 000 and clonidine 1 µg/kg will shorten the onset time of sensory block when compared to lidocaine 2% with epinephrine 1:200 000 alone in ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block for elective upper limb surgeries.
It is a
Peripheral nerve blocks provide significant benefits to patients, including improved analgesia and decrease in general anaesthesia-related adverse effects. Ideally peripheral nerve block provides rapid onset and substantial perioperative analgesia. Use of ultrasound guidance in peripheral nerve

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a peri-incisional multimodal injection for post-operative pain control following operative management of femur fractures. Patients will be identified by way of direct presentation to the orthopaedic trauma service with an acute
1. Background:
Calcinosis cutis is the deposition of calcium in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is a common and potentially debilitating manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc), affecting almost one quarter of these patients. Several studies have found an association between calcinosis and
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures used in the treatment of severe obesity. RYGB has in several studies been shown to result in significant and sustained weight loss. Moreover, RYGB has a beneficial effect on obese subjects with type 2 diabetes
Pain from burns is a severe form of acute pain that requires aggressive use of opioids. Even with the implementation of multiple modalities for analgesia, pain from skin debridements and grafting procedures remains a challenge to control. Local anesthetics have been used for pain relief in burn
Currently available amino amide local anesthetics (e.g. bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine) do not reliably provide analgesia beyond roughly 8 hours following subcutaneous infiltration. In addition, they can cause systemic toxicities such as seizures, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest, as well
