Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block

Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block is a procedure used in anesthesia that allows real-time imaging of the positions of the targeted nerve, needle, and surrounding vasculature and other anatomic structures.[1] This visual aid increases the success rate of the block and may reduce the risk of complications.[2][3] It may also reduce the amount of local anesthetic required,[4] while reducing the onset time of blocks.[5] Ultrasound has also resulted in an exponential rise in fascial plane blocks [6]
