Abstract Title: Ultrasound Guided Trans-sartorial Continuous Saphenous Nerve Blockade - A technique for Relief of Postoperative Medial Incisional Foot and Ankle Pain
(, 1/1/2009)The saphenous nerve (SaN) innervates the region from the upper medial thigh to the medial aspect of the foot and ankle. A femoral nerve block (FNB) is effective for blockade of the SaN but this causes quadriceps weekness ... -
Post-Operative Pain Scores and Level of Regional Anesthesia Expertise: Using Clinical Outcomes to Assess Procedural Proficiency
(Austin Publishing Group, 12/3/2014)Background and Objectives: Peripheral nerve blockade requires regional anesthesia skills that trainees learn in several formats. Technical proficiency has shifted from a quota to comprehensive procedural evaluation. ... -
