A Comparative Study Between Arm Intravenous Regional Anesthesia Versus Forearm Intravenous Regional Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Hand and Wrist Surgery

Egypt140 participantsStarted 2024-01-01

Plain-language summary

The technique of intravenous regional analgesia using a tourniquet consisting of two cuffs over the upper arm is a well-known procedure, With the tourniquet being conventionally placed over the upper arm, a relatively high dose of local anaesthetic drug is required and occasionally systemic toxic reactions have occurred. The purpose of the present study is to establish the efficacy of the technique of intravenous regional analgesia with a forearm tourniquet using reduced doses of lidocaine.
