1. Superior hypogastric plexus block: the posteromedian transdiscal approach. www.painphysicianjournal.com E51
Superior Hypogastric Plexus Combined with Ganglion Impar Neurolytic Blocks otic was given 30 minutes before the procedure, which were all performed under sterile conditions with c-arm fluoroscopic guidance. This approach is performed with the patient in the lateral or prone position. The
L5-S1 interspace was identified under fluoroscopy, the skin overlying the interspace was sterilized and infiltrated with 2 – 3 mL of local anesthetic (lidocaine 2%), a 20-gauge, 15 cm needle with a 30° short bevel (Chiba needle) was inserted perpendicular to the skin at the center of the L5-S1 intrelaminar space under anteroposterior fluoroscopic vision. Under lateral fluoroscopic control, the needle was then advanced towards the intervertebral disc so that it penetrated the thecal sac.
After confirming the avoidance of nerve injury by the absence of paresthesia, the tip of the needle was advanced through the intervertebral disc until it exited at its anterior surface. Correct positioning was confirmed by administration of 4 mL of soluble contrast medium in both lateral and antero-posterior fluoroscopic …show more content…

The patient was discharged after 24 hours, to be followed up for the next 2 months at the first, second, and fourth weeks, then at the end of the second month.
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS version 16). Values are shown as mean
± SD, range, percentage, and number. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of the Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test for the VAS and morphine consumption changed from the baseline. Statistical significance was assigned as P value less than 0.05.
Results
A total of 15 patients, following up in the pain clinic in the South Egypt Cancer Institute, underwent combined SHGP block and GI block. Demographic data, clinical data, and the mean duration of the procedure are presented in Table 1.
The SHGP block through a posteromedian transdiscal approach and GI block through a trans-sacrococcygeal approach took a mean duration time (± SD) of 31.3
± 6.7 minutes with a minimum and maximum duration of 20 and 45 minutes, respectively.
A successful needle placement for SHGP

Serratus anterior plane (SAP) block for Acute Thoracic Herpes Zoster: Introduction: The concomitant inflammation of the peripheral nerve and skin damage is supposed to be responsible for the acute pain in patients with herpes zoster (HZ). The area affected by the disease can be extremely painful, and pain tends to be exacerbated by any movement or contact. Epidural, intrathecal, and sympathetic nerve blocks have been used in the treatment of pain caused by HZ and postherpetic neuralgia. The recently described pectoral nerve (Pecs) and serratus anterior plane (SAP) blocks are easy and reliable methods for thoracic wall block.

It usually resolves without any sequelae. However as the amount of air continuously increases in the vault, it becomes tension pneumocephalus that can cause serious complications if untreated. As a result it is important to identified and differentiate a tension pneumocranium from a simple pneumocranium with its characteristics. Computed tomography scanning is the choice of diagnostic modality for the diagnosis of tension pneumocranium with its specific features in the scan. We present a case of 73 years old women who developed tension pneumocranium after a bifrontal craniotomy and transnasal endoscopic resection of a cribriform meningioma which was aggrevated by lumbar drainage.

Congestive Heart Failure Introduction The heart is like an engine, pumping blood throughout the body. Over time, when this pump cannot distribute enough blood throughout the body to meet its needs, it develops into a condition known as congestive heart failure (CHF). When the right side of the heart fails, the lungs cannot pick up oxygen due to the heart’s inability to pump enough blood to them. In contrast, left sided heart failure is related to the heart’s inability to pump an adequate amount of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.

(2013, p.12) emphasised the importance of nursing care for patients after hemicolectomy to promote rapid recovery and quicker discharge from the hospital. They reported that the greatest postoperative complication for hemicolectomy patients is pain management; postoperative patients therefore require scheduled pain management to control severe pain and pain intensity. This may involve both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, as non-pharmacological have been reported to increase the efficacy of pharmacological pain management interventions. Isaacson et al. (2013, p.12) recommended massage, repositioning, ensuring a calm environment and allowing the patient to listen to music.

I. Inadequate Monitoring of Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression Opioids are a category of pain medications that reduce the stimulus of pain signals sent from the brain. Within this category are medications such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, codeine, and other similar drugs. These medications are used to treat mild to severe pain depending on dosages and type of opioid given. With the reduced perception of pain also comes a plethora of unpleasant symptoms such as drowsiness, mental confusion, nausea, constipation, and, depending upon the amount of drug taken, can depress respiration. However, many experience a euphoric experience after administration that drives them to abuse opioids.

In this crosspost, the author will elaborate on the original threaded discussion by Ellerbee Mburu, Vail, and Barlow and add additional information on pain assessment and management. Healthcare providers are the major group of healthcare professional who perform crucial functions in delivering and providing nursing care to inpatient and outpatients. As mentioned in the threaded discussion by Ellerbee, Mburu, Vail, and Barlow, undertreated pain causes unnecessary distress and negatively affects the quality of life. In additional to the original threaded discussion, pain is a factor that is thought of differently by many. It has been added as the fifth vital sign and is considered to be subjective.

We all know that pain is usually one of the major complaint of patients with chronic problems or those recovering post operatively thereby making pain evaluation a fundamental requisite in the outcome assessment during hospital visits. Interpreting the data from a pain assessment scale is not as straightforward as it may seem since the provider must consider the intensity, related disability, duration, and affect to define the pain and its effects on the patient (Williamson & Hoggart, 2005). Pain rating scales are used in the clinical settings to measure pain and these include Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Numerical/numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (Haefeli & Elfering, 2006). Each scale is unique on its own in terms of sensitivity and simplicity that generates data that can be statistically analyzed for audit purposes. The EHR in our hospital utilizes the three rating scales mentioned as part of the pain assessment tool to measure pain that sets the tone for the direction of the type of pain management will .be given to the
