An interscalene brachial plexus block relies on dispersion of the larger volume of local anesthetic within the interscalene groove to accomplish blockade of the brachial plexus. In our practice, we approach this block closer to the clavicle, rather than a commonly described approach at the level of the cricoid cartilage.

Typical indications for the Ultrasound-Guided Interscalene Brachial Plexus block are surgery on the shoulder, lateral clavicle, acromioclavicular joint, proximal humerus and elbow (with low interscalene block).

The posterior approach to sciatic blockade has wide clinical applicability for surgery and pain management of the lower extremity. Consequently, sciatic block is one of the most commonly used techniques in our practice.

A femoral nerve block is a basic nerve block technique that is easy to master, carries a low risk of complications, and has a significant clinical applicability for surgical anesthesia and post-operative pain management. This block is well suited for surgery such on the anterior thigh, knee, quadriceps tendon repair, and postoperative pain management after femur and knee surgery.
