Lumbar Plexus Block

D, d M Y H:i:s O

The lumbar plexus block is an advanced nerve block technique. The block has significant clinical applicability and because of this, it is used commonly in our practice. However, this block has a relatively higher potential for complications and should be practiced only after appropriate training. Due to the placement of the needle in the deep muscle beds, the potential for systemic toxicity is greater than in many other techniques.

yes it can be used alone for hip surgery. I have a series of 44 patients having block alone with GA.

Only 2 required opiates in recovery (and low dose) with one episode of epidural block.

D, d M Y H:i:s O
