Ultrasound-guided infrapatellar nerve block in human volunteers: description of a novel technique.
BACKGROUND Despite the use of various treatment strategies arthroscopic knee surgery is still associated with clinically important postoperative pain. As the infrapatellar nerve (IPN) innervates vital anterior knee structures we decided to investigate the feasibility of a novel ultrasound-guided IPN block technique as a potential therapeutic option for out-patient arthroscopic knee surgery. M...
متن کاملBlock of the superior cervical ganglion, description of a novel ultrasound-guided technique in human cadavers.
OBJECTIVE Injection of opioids to the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) has been reported to provide pain relief in patients suffering from different kinds of neuropathic facial pain conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, and atypical facial pain. The classic approach to the SCG is a transoral technique using a so-called "stopper" to prevent accidental carotid artery p...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block technique.
BACKGROUND In this article, we describe a case report of using real-time, high-resolution ultrasound guidance to facilitate blockade of the suprascapular nerve. We describe a case report and technique for using a portable ultrasound scanner (38 mm broadband (13-6 MHz) linear array transducer (SonoSite Micromaxx SonoSite, Inc. 21919 30th Drive SE Bothwell W. A..)) to guide suprascapular nerve bl...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided Sciatic Nerve Block: Posterior Approach
The sciatic nerve blockade is routinely done for surgery and pain management of the lower extremity and is one of the commonly used techniques in our practice. When performed in a systematic manner, it is associated with a high success rate.1,2 It is particularly well suited for surgery on the knee, calf, ankle and foot. It provides complete anaesthesia of the leg below knee with the exception ...
متن کاملUltrasound guided posterior femoral cutaneous nerve block.
The posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) is a branch of the sacral plexus. It needs to be implemented as a complementary block for anesthesia or in the surgeries necessitating tourniquet in the suitable cases. We consider target oriented block concept within the PFCN block in the anesthesia implementations with the emergence of ultrasonic regional anesthesia in the practice and with the bet...
