Ultrasound-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 guidance improves a continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block when compared with nerve stimulation.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Continuous sciatic nerve blockade at the popliteal level effectively alleviates postoperative pain after major foot and ankle surgery. No randomized controlled trials have previously compared the success rate of continuous sciatic nerve sensory blockade between ultrasound and nerve stimulation guidance. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that ultrasound-gui...
متن کاملIntraneural injection with low-current stimulation during popliteal sciatic nerve block.
BACKGROUND Prevention of an intraneural injection of a local anesthetic during peripheral nerve blockade is considered important to avoid neurologic injury. However, the needle-nerve relationship during low-current electrical nerve localization is not well understood. METHODS We postulated that intraneural needletip location is common during low-current stimulation popliteal sciatic nerve blo...
متن کاملIntraneural injection during nerve stimulator-guided sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa.
BACKGROUND Exact location of the needle tip during nerve stimulation-guided peripheral nerve blocks is unknown. Using high-frequency ultrasound imaging, we tested the hypothesis that intraneural injection is common with nerve stimulator-guided sciatic nerve (SN) block in popliteal fossa. METHODS Forty-two patients scheduled for hallux valgus repair were studied. Sciatic block at the popliteal...
متن کاملSuccess of ultrasound guided popliteal sciatic nerve catheters is not influenced by nerve stimulation.
BACKGROUND There is debate as to whether nerve stimulation (NS) is required to place peripheral nerve catheters when using ultrasound (US) guidance. There is conflicting evidence for whether stimulating catheters improve postoperative analgesia compared to non-stimulating catheters. The use of US in combination with NS has been shown to be superior to NS alone in terms of popliteal nerve blocka...
