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. 7fd5f09edb2f76d9fb56f0472ec1edb0 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3108-us_guided_continuous_femoral_block.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:50:00 +0000 A successful ultrasound guided continuous femoral block results in anesthesia of the entire anterior thigh, most of the femur and knee joint. Thisblock also confers anesthesia of the skin on the medial aspect of the leg bellow the knee joint (saphenous nerve - a superficial terminal extension of the femoral nerve). Femoral nerve block alone is typically sufficient as a sole anesthetic for knee arthroscopy, patella tendon repair, patella fracture repair and biopsy of the anterior thigh (quadriceps muscle). In addition, the continuous femoral block is an excellent analgesic technique for pain management after major knee and femur surgery. 6d53521723f41ac749fa5ba4104b0870 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3193-tap_block.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:49:00 +0000 This video describes the Ultrasound-Guided approach to a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block.

It is particularly well-suited for surgery on the knee, calf, Achilles tendon, 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. When combined with a femoral nerve or lumbar plexus block, anesthesia of almost entire leg is achieved. 73613bd27c0e46ce3e4e20baf0f2d840 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3111-us_guided_popliteal_block.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques Mon, 16 Mar 2009 20:36:00 +0000 Popliteal blockade results in anesthesia of the entire distal two thirds of the lower extremity, with the exception of the medial aspect of the leg. Cutaneous innervation of the medial leg below the knee is provided by the saphenous nerve, a superficial terminal extension of the femoral nerve. Depending on the level of surgery, the addition of a saphenous nerve block may be required for surgery. 81b39e12b18db7d1d12fce90e94f43a1 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3063-ultrasound_assisted_nerve_blocks.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:54:00 +0000 In recent years there has been a growing interest in the practice of regional anesthesia and, in particular, peripheral nerve blocks for surgical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. Peripheral nerve blocks have been found to be superior to general anesthesia (1) as they provide effective analgesia with few side effects (2) and can hasten patient recovery.(3) b5e4a0a3c35eba17b2ca8067169e7fe5 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3112-us_guided_femoral_nerve_block.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques 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. c222c296cb187a79e5c4d120c478ee70 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/ultrasound-guided_techniques/3024-ultrasound-guided-single-shot-femoral-nerve-block.html Ultrasound-Guided Techniques Sun, 01 Mar 2009 02:43:00 +0000 NYSORA VIDEO by Admir Hadzic and Vijay Patel @ St. Luke's Hospital, New York, NY 339422ae3a81d4dc690f584d9a06b66e
