Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of regional versus local anaesthesia on outcome after arteriovenous fistula creation: a randomised controlled trial
Emma Aitken,Andrew Jackson,Rachel J. Kearns,Rachel J. Kearns,Mark Steven,John Kinsella,John Kinsella,Marc Clancy,Alan J. R. Macfarlane,Alan J. R. Macfarlane +9 more
TL;DR: Compared with local anaesthesia, BPB significantly improved 3 month primary patency rates for arteriovenous fistula patency in adults undergoing primary radiocephalic or brachial plexus block creation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The introduction of a surgical safety checklist in a tertiary referral obstetric centre
TL;DR: Following consultation with staff and patients, the authors managed to institute and sustain the performance of a surgical safety checklist for elective cases in obstetric theatres and recognise that further work is required in order to further evaluate and optimise this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of anesthesia on the postoperative systemic inflammatory response in patients undergoing surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Aliah M. Alhayyan,Stephen T. McSorley,Campbell S.D. Roxburgh,Rachel J. Kearns,Paul G. Horgan,Donald C. McMillan +5 more
TL;DR: There is some evidence that anesthetic regimens may reduce the magnitude of the postoperative systemic inflammatory response, however, the studies were heterogeneous and generally of low quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fascia iliaca compartment block.
TL;DR: The FICB may be thought of as an anterior approach to the lumbar plexus where local anaesthetic is injected proximally beneath the fascia iliaca, with the aim of blocking the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomised, controlled, double blind, non-inferiority trial of ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca block vs. spinal morphine for analgesia after primary hip arthroplasty.
Rachel J. Kearns,Alan J. R. Macfarlane,Andrew Grant,Kathryn Puxty,Paul Harrison,Martin Shaw,K. J. Anderson,John Kinsella +7 more
TL;DR: Ultrasound‐guided fascia iliaca block was significantly worse than spinal morphine in the provision of analgesia in the first 24 h after total hip arthroplasty.
