INTRODUCTION Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), an important tool to aid administration of peripheral nerve blocks. Improvements in electrical nerve localization technology have led to a number of commercially available nerve ...
INTRODUCTION Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNBs) provide a number of advantages in the perioperative period. These techniques provide the flexibility to prolong intraoperative anesthesia while avoiding the risks and side ...
INTRODUCTION Regional anesthesia has become commonplace in many practices worldwide due to the increasing evidence of patient benefit, such as reduction in pulmonary and thromboembolic complications, reduction in opioid consumption, ...
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound application allows for noninvasive visualization of tissue structures. Real-time ultrasound images are integrated images resulting from reflection of organ surfaces and scattering within heterogeneous tissues. Ultrasound scanning is ...
