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. f62cbd82f4f76e23dcafc1496dd58a29 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3058-sciatic-nerve-block-anterior-approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:37:00 +0000 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. 1434aa535463a46faae55fdba9fc6ded http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3090-sciatic-nerve-block-posterior-approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:37:00 +0000 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. 0ba9135f54dc33a6977ddd7f046a9584 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3077-continuous_femoral_nerve_block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:10:00 +0000 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. 2f7e8791aa88e6e0d54759fdf41d1007 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3074-continuous_lumbar_plexus_block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:57:00 +0000 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. 01b395863b8f0bac2295033121f8a1b2 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3056-axillary-brachial-plexus-block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:02:00 +0000 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. 0995b7b55789dd53c4c4f084a3b10672 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3099-infraclavicular-brachial-plexus-nerve-block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:03:00 +0000 The infraclavicular block is a blockade of the brachial plexus below the level of the clavicle and in the proximity of the coracoid process. 31f9d483014ccd702c20cdd19f2082f3 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3094-popliteal-block-intertendinous-approach.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:35:00 +0000 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. e740fa591fe0d5c641ea87f518954caa http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/nerve_stimulator_techniques/3098-intercostal-nerve-block.html Nerve Stimulator Techniques Sun, 15 Mar 2009 18:25:00 +0000 The intercostal nerves (ICNs) supply the major parts of the skin and musculature of the chest and abdominal wall. The block of these nerves was first described by Braun in 1907, in the textbook Die Lokalanästesie. b25bcf114bfea33cfaac2b720c19a430
