When performing an US guided Continuous Femoral Nerve Block, after successfull nerve nerve localization and injection: How do you advance the Catheter?
Ultrasound-Guided Techniques

General ConsiderationsThe axillary brachial plexus block offers several advantages over the other approaches
Continuous Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Block
Figure 1: Patient position, imaging and needle placement for continuous infraclavicular brachial plexus block are similar to those in a single-injection technique. Once the proper needle tip is determined...

Ultrasound-guided Axillary Nerve Block
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....
Ultrasound-guided Continuous Femoral Nerve Block
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....
Ultrasound-Guided TAP Block
This video describes the Ultrasound-Guided approach to a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block. Please view the NYSORA Journal Page for more information....
Ultrasound Guided Subgluteal Sciatic Block
The sciatic block is associated with a high success rate when properly performed. 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. ...
Ultrasound-Guided Popliteal Fossa Block (Intertendinous Approach)
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....
Ultrasound-Assisted Nerve Blocks
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)...
Ultrasound-Guided Single Shot Femoral Nerve Block
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....
