Among the recent techniques, notable are the truncal blocks, for example, the transversus abdominis plane block, rectus sheath block, hernia block and quadratus lumborum block in the abdomen and the pectoral nerves (Pe...
متن کاملThe Stresses and Strains of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anaesthesia
There can be no doubt that the addition of ultrasound to regional anaesthesia has enabled anaesthetists to directly visualise key anatomy and monitor local anaesthetic spread [1]. A recent meta-analysis of 42 studies has shown an increase in the proportion of patients receiving good quality nerve block without need for rescue analgesia to be 93% for ultrasoundguided regional anaesthesia (UGRA),...

Ultrasound guidance is rapidly becoming the gold standard for regional anaesthesia. There is an ever growing weight of evidence, matched with improving technology, to show that the use of ultrasound has significant benefits over conventional techniques, such as nerve stimulation and loss of resistance. The improved safety and efficacy that ultrasound brings to regional anaesthesia will help pro...
متن کاملUltrasound guidance in regional anaesthesia.
The technology and clinical understanding of anatomical sonography has evolved greatly over the past decade. In the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, ultrasonography has become a routine technique for regional anaesthetic nerve block. Recent studies have shown that direct visualization of the distribution of local anaesthetics with high-f...

Editor—As a proponent of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, I enjoyed reading the excellent case series by Karmakar and colleagues. 1 However, I have reservations about a number of the conclusions drawn in the accompanying editorial by Hopkins. 2 I agree that the recent regional anaesthesia ultrasound literature has many studies that lack equipoise. However, this fact surely reinforces our...
