Employment of colour flow Doppler to identify the tip of the needle during ultrasound guided nerve blocks.

چکیده
Ultra-sound guided needle placement techniques can be performed using either an out-of-plane or in-plane approach as the needle is advanced towards a desired target. During an out-of-plane approach, the needle cuts the plane of imaging transversely and therefore appears as a hyperechoic “dot” on the ultrasound image (Figure 1). It is more difficult to follow the tip of the needle using this technique.

Piezoelectric vibrating needle and catheter for enhancing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks.
Ultrasound imaging has been used for performing single-injection peripheral nerve blocks and continuous catheters. One limitation with current technology is the inability to confirm the location of the needle or catheter tip. We describe a new needle and catheter design that permits distal tip visualization using color flow Doppler. An 18-gauge 100-mm insulated Tuohy needle and a 20-gauge 50-mm...

متن کاملTransthoracic needle biopsy of thoracic tumours by a colour Doppler ultrasound puncture guiding device.
BACKGROUND Ultrasound guided transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy has recently been used to obtain specimens for histological diagnosis of pulmonary and mediastinal tumours. Conventional real time, grey scale puncture guiding devices cannot differentiate vascular structures, and clear visualisation of the needle shaft or tip within a desired target is not always possible. This study describes...
