Ultrasound-Guided Single Shot Femoral Nerve Block

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 20:57:00 +0000

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.

For those of us who want to learn from the experts, can you please indicate on you diagrams :medial/lateral; on your vedeo, whether you are looking from the feet of the patient and when did you change to looking from his head. This will help us to orientate easier.

very helpful but a query...it was the left leg receiving the femroal block displayed on the picture but the ultrasound shows the probe position as having the artery on the lateral aspectof the nerve..probably the position of probe is reversed. so that leaves a little confusion in the mind

Admin Response:

Thank you for your comment. If you notice on the ultrasound clip, the medial side is labeled accordingly on the bottom left hand side of the screen. Sorry for any confusion.

Thank you,

I had a TKR a month ago and still have the femoral nerve block in place. I am basically numb from mid-shin to the hip area (only on the front of the leg). Will this ever go away?

Would be nice if a low-res video was added as most hospital IT systems are unable to cope with the large res video....

Thanks

Nice clip! On the first ultrasound clip, the vessels are named FP and FA. Should it not be FV and FA?

Admin Response: The vessel FP refers to the Femoral Profundus Artery branch of the Femoral Artery. Sorry for the confusion.
