Pain Clinic, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.

Stellate ganglion injections were performed using methylene blue 20 ml in 20 cadavers before postmortem examination. There was spread of solution into the posterior mediastinum and over the apical pleura. There was no spread onto the thoracic sympathetic chain.

D008751 Methylene Blue A compound consisting of dark green crystals or crystalline powder, having a bronze-like luster. Solutions in water or alcohol have a deep blue color. Methylene blue is used as a bacteriologic stain and as an indicator. It inhibits GUANYLATE CYCLASE, and has been used to treat cyanide poisoning and to lower levels of METHEMOGLOBIN.
