Echogenic technology can improve needle visibility during ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
Needle tip visualization is fundamental to the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA). It can be extremely challenging especially at steep insertion angles. We assessed whether an echogenic needle improved tip visibility during UGRA by anesthesiologists performing their normal in-plane technique. The visibility of the Pajunk Sonoplex (echogenic) and the Pajunk Unipl...
متن کاملFacilitating needle alignment in-plane to an ultrasound beam using a portable laser unit.
OBJECTIVE Ultrasound guidance can increase success with peripheral nerve blocks. Accurate anesthetic injection is optimized with both clear visualization and fine adjustment of the needle tip at the target area. Good needle alignment with the ultrasound beam and using a freehand technique are both desirable for these conditions. The purpose of this report is to describe how a unique, in-plane l...
متن کاملNeedle echogenicity in sonographically guided regional anesthesia: blinded comparison of 4 enhanced needles and validation of visual criteria for evaluation.
OBJECTIVES Needle visualization is important for sonographically guided regional anesthesia procedures. Needle characteristics that improve needle visualization are therefore important to anesthesiologists. This study compared several echogenic needle designs by defining characteristics of needle echogenicity and assessing regional anesthesiologist preferences for these characteristics across v...
متن کاملPerformance Accuracy of Hand-on-needle versus Hand-on-syringe Technique for Ultrasound-guided Regional Anesthesia Simulation for Emergency Medicine Residents
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (UGNB) are increasingly used in emergency care. The hand-on-syringe (HS) needle technique is ideally suited to the emergency department setting because it allows a single operator to perform the block without assistance. The HS technique is assumed to provide less exact needle control than the alternative two-operator hand-on-needle (HN) technique; ho...
