The safety and benefit in hand surgery is unclear.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A retrospective chart review was performed examining all operative hand cases over a 2-year period. All cases of metacarpal open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were included. Cases were excluded if paediatric patient, additional procedures performed, and\/or a decreased LOC. Parametric statistical tests were performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n In total, 54 cases with general anaesthesia (GA) and 48 cases with BPB were identified for the study (n = 102). The average total time from operating theatre to discharge was 245 \u00b1 72 minutes in GA group and 195 \u00b1 54 minutes in BPB ( P < .001). Of those who had a GA, 47\/54 patients required analgesia post-operatively versus 12\/48 in the BPB ( P < .001). Of all, 25\/52 and 5\/48 patients required anti-emetics post-operatively in the GA and BPB groups, respectively ( P < .001). Need for any parenteral medication post-operatively was also significantly different ( P < .001).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n This is the first study to specifically examine anaesthetic techniques for ORIF of hand fractures; adding to the body of literature establishing BPB as a safe and efficient method of anaesthesia.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2292550320925911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]],"date-time":"2022-01-25T10:25:55Z","timestamp":1643106355000},"page":"16-19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Peri-Operative Outcomes Comparison of General Anaesthesia and Brachial Plexus Block for Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Metacarpal Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Curtis","family":"Budden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7888-5975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elsa Kaley","family":"Donaldson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Tredget","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ban C.
