Modified prone position to dissect the popliteal fossa
INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the prone position is used for dissecting the popliteal fossa, which requires endotracheal intubation. Access to the airway in this position is limited, hence the complications. It is not surprising that the prone position is not favoured by the anaesthetists, especially in patients with a high body mass index. We describe a safe and novel alternative to the prone po...
متن کاملLateral approach to the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa.
UNLABELLED We describe a modification of the sciatic nerve (SN) block in the popliteal fossa through the lateral approach. After a brief anatomic study using previously reported landmarks, we propose a new needle orientation associated with a double injection technique after identification of the tibial and the common peroneal nerve. Thirty-four patients undergoing ankle or foot surgery were en...
متن کاملSupine approach to the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa.
PURPOSE Sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa (popliteal nerve block, PNB) is an anaesthetic technique well-suited for operations below the knee. However, difficulty with positioning the patient in the prone position often precludes the classical, posterior approach to the block. In this report, an alternative approach to PNB that can easily be performed with a patient in the supine positi...
متن کامل"Figure of four" position improves the visibility of the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa.
OBJECTIVES We studied the influence of patient positioning on the visibility of the sciatic nerve during ultrasound (US) examination in the popliteal region. METHODS Using a linear broad band 7-12 MHz frequency probe, US examination of 24 sciatic nerves was performed by a blinded operator to obtain the best possible image at the level of the popliteal crease (PC) and at 4 and 8 cm above the P...
