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. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3100-Femoral-Nerve-Block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O 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. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3058-Sciatic-Nerve-Block-Anterior-Approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O The anterior approach to a sciatic block is an advanced nerve block technique. The block is well suited for surgery on the leg below the knee, particularly on the ankle and foot. It provides complete anesthesia of the leg below the knee with the exception of the medial strip of skin, which is innervated by the saphenous nerve. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3096-Nerve-Stimulator-Guided--Interscalene-Brachial-Plexus-Block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O 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. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3090-Sciatic-Nerve-Block-Posterior-Approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O 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. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3077-continuous_femoral_nerve_block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O 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 postoperative pain management. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3074-continuous_lumbar_plexus_block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O Continuous lumbar plexus blockade is an advanced regional anesthesia technique and adequate experience with the single-shot technique is a prerequisite to ensure its efficacy and safety. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3056-Axillary-Brachial-Plexus-Block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O The axillary brachial plexus block was first described by Halstead in New York City at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in 1884. The axillary brachial plexus block is a basic nerve block technique, and one of the most commonly practiced blocks by anesthesiologists in the United States. An axillary block is an excellent choice for forearm and hand surgery. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3099-Infraclavicular-Brachial-Plexus-Nerve-Block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O The infraclavicular block is a blockade of the brachial plexus below the level of the clavicle and in the proximity of the coracoid process. http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3094-Popliteal-Block-Intertendinous-Approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques D, d M Y H:i:s O The popliteal block is a block of the sciatic nerve at the level of the popliteal fossa. The popliteal block is one of the most commonly used regional anesthesia techniques in our practice. Some common indications include corrective foot surgery, foot debridement, and Achilles tendon repair. Sound knowledge of the principles of nerve stimulation and anatomic characteristics of the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa are essential for its successful implementation.
