Intraneural 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 کاملComparative Study between Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulator Guided Sciatic Nerve Block through the Anterior Approach.
INTRODUCTION The aim of the current study was to compare block of the sciatic nerve through the anterior approach by two methods, namely, the nerve-stimulator guided and ultrasound-guided, with or without nerve stimulation, with regard to the ease of performance, reliability and safety of this approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS 36 adult patients were randomly allocated equally into one of 2 main ...
متن کاملThe use of a nerve stimulator for thoracic paravertebral block.
To the Editor:—I wish to congratulate Dr. Karmakar on his very thorough and informative review on paravertebral anesthesia and analgesia. 1Dr. Karmakar has overlooked one technique of paravertebral blockade that, in my opinion, has shown particular merit and is worthy of further investigation—the use of a nerve stimulator. To my knowledge, the use of a nerve stimulator as a guide to the perform...
متن کاملIntraneural injection during anterior approach for sciatic nerve block.
To the Editor:—We read with interest the case report by Sala-Blanch et al. The authors describe an unorthodox but interesting treatment for patients undergoing continuous sciatic nerve block that raises several concerns. In short, using computed tomographic imaging without clear clinical indication, the authors documented that nerve stimulator–guided needle placement during sciatic nerve block ...
