We will demonstrate the performance of the median nerve block for carpal tunnel surgery together with four simple ultrasound machine adjustments that can improve the image for the given procedure. ...
Cannulation of a peripheral vein is an essential skill in medicine and anesthesiology. A peripheral IV access is required to administer anesthesia, sample blood, infuse fluids, and IV medications. Dr. ...
Understanding the basic ultrasound physics presented in this section will be helpful for anesthesiologists to appropriately select the transducer, set the ultrasound system, and then obtain satisfactory imaging.
Features physics and instrumentation necessary for successful and safe use of ultrasound machines.
This section features the importance of ultrasound image optimization and describes the scanning steps to obtain an improved view.
