    Title translation Arthroplastie totale de la hanche et du genou en ambulatoire : revue de la littérature et considérations périopératoires.
    Abstract Purpose: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA), particularly for the hip and knee, is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. The advancement/evolution of surgical and anesthesia techniques have allowed TJA to be performed on an ambulatory/same-day discharge basis. In this Continuing Professional Development module, we synthesize the perioperative evidence that may aid the development of successful ambulatory TJA pathways.
    Source: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for ambulatory or fast-track TJA articles. In the absence of direct evidence for the ambulatory setting, we extrapolated the evidence from the in-patient TJA literature.
    Principal findings: Patient selection encompassing patient, medical, and social factors is fundamental for successful same-day discharge of patients following TJA. Evidence for the type of intraoperative anesthesia favours neuraxial technique for achieving same day discharge criteria and reduced perioperative complications. Availability of short-acting local anesthetic for neuraxial anesthesia would affect the anesthetic choice. Nonetheless, modern general anesthesia with multimodal analgesia and antithrombotics in a well selected population can be considered. Regional analgesia forms an integral part of the multimodal analgesia regime to reduce opioid consumption and facilitate same-day hospital discharge, reducing hospital readmission. For ambulatory total knee arthroplasty, a combination of adductor canal block with local anesthetic periarticular infiltration provided is a suitable regional analgesic regimen.
    Conclusion: Anesthesia for TJA has evolved as such that same-day discharge will become the norm for selected patients. It is essential to establish pathways for early discharge to prevent adverse effects and readmission in this population. As more data are generated from an increased volume of ambulatory TJA, more robust evidence will emerge for the ideal anesthetic components to optimize outcomes.

    Abstract Upper extremity injuries are frequent in athletes which may require surgeries. Regional anesthesia for postoperative analgesia is important to aid recovery, and peripheral nerve blocks for surgical anesthesia enable surgeries to be performed without general anesthetics and their associated adverse effects. The relevant nerve block approaches to anesthetize the brachial plexus for elbow, wrist and hand surgeries are discussed in this article. There is very limited margin for error when performing nerve blocks and multimodal monitoring approach to reduce harm are outlined. Lastly, the importance of obtaining informed consent prior to nerve block procedures should not be overlooked.

    Title translation Neuromodulation à l’aide d’une technique hybride d’anesthésie locale périnerveuse combinée et de stimulation nerveuse dans six scénarios cliniques difficiles.
    Abstract Purpose: Postamputation pain is challenging because of complex mechanisms involving a multitude of pain pathways and psychological factors. This patient population also tends to have extensive comorbidities with or without a background of chronic pain. Electrical neuromodulation such as peripheral nerve stimulation has gained traction in the realm of chronic pain. Recently, the off-label use of hybrid perineural nerve stimulation in combination with locoregional block via the stimulating nerve block catheter has been described in single-center case reports.
    Clinical features: Herein, we present a case series of six patients from two different Canadian hospitals using such a hybrid technique in three different clinical scenarios. These scenarios were (1) local anesthetic dose minimization in the presence of multiple nerve block catheters, (2) analgesia augmentation when local anesthetic alone is insufficient, and (3) provision of an analgesic adjunct as part of a multimodal regimen. A stimulating sciatic nerve block catheter was inserted under ultrasound and nerve stimulation guidance for these cases. Patients tended to experience pain on the subsequent postoperative days whereby the off-label use of nerve stimulation successfully reduced their pain score and stabilized or decreased their opioid consumption or minimized the need to increase the local anesthetic dose when doing so could have precipitated local anesthetic toxicity.
    Conclusion: Our case series supports the feasibility of using a combination of low-frequency perineural stimulation and local anesthetic infusion via a single perineural nerve block catheter to manage challenging postamputation pain.
