A Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate the Efficacy of a Bier's Block Compared to a Mini-bier's Block in Patients Undergoing Hand Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mini-Bier's block with lidocaine 0.5% 25ml and Conventional Bier's block with lidocaine 0.5% 40ml for Surgery and Anesthesia, Local. Completed, enrolled 280 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
By means of an observer-blinded, randomized controlled trial, the analgesic efficacy of an upper-arm Bier's block and a forearm mini-Bier's block will be investigated in patients undergoing hand surgery. The hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two types of anesthetic techniques with respect to the analgesic efficacy.

Interventions
An intravenous catheter will be placed in the dorsal vein of the hand that will undergo surgery. Afterwards, a tourniquet will be placed on the forearm and inflated, after which the anesthetic can be administered via the dorsal vein catheter (25ml lidocaine 0.5%). The tourniquet remains inflated for 10 minutes to reduce systemic toxicity reactions postoperatively.
