ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There have been no reports on the successful implementation of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in mice.OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to investigate a new method for implementing SGB in mice by placing them in a supine position with abducted upper limbs and touching the trachea and sternoclavicular joint with the hand.METHODS:
Fifty BABL/C mice, 8-10 weeks, were selected and randomly divided into four groups control group (n = 5); SGB-R group (n = 15); SGB-L group (n = 15); and SGB-L + R (group n = 15). SGB was administered with 0.15% ropivacaine solution in a volume of 0.1 mL. The control group received equal volumes of saline. Horner's syndrome, heart rate, and complications such as brachial plexus block, vascular injury, pneumothorax, local anesthetic toxicity, and death were observed.RESULTS:
Horner's syndrome developed in 100% of SGB surviving mice; no difference was seen in the time to onset (100.4 ± 13.4 vs 96.7 ± 12.4, mean ± SD, seconds) and duration (264.1 ± 40.5 vs 296.3 ± 48.0, mean ± SD, min) of Horner's syndrome in the left and right SGB (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group (722 [708-726], median [IQR], bpm), the heart rate was significantly slowed down in the right SGB (475 [451.5-491], median [IQR], bpm) (P < 0.05). While the heart rate was slowed down after performing the left SGB, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The overall complication rate was 18.4%, with a brachial plexus block rate of 12.3%, a vascular injury rate of 4.6%, and a mortality rate of 1.5%, as well as no local anesthetic toxicity (includes bilateral implementation of SGB) or pneumothorax manifestations were found.CONCLUSIONS:
This method allows for the successful implementation of SGB in a mouse model.Palabras clave
