This prospective study assessed a ventral ultrasound-guided suprainguinal approach to block the femoral nerve (FN) in dogs. The anatomical features of the FN were evaluated in four canine cadavers. In another five cadavers, the FN was located by ultrasound-guidance and the accuracy of this technique was evaluated by injection of black ink and posterior evaluation of the degree of staining of the nerves. In five live dogs, the FN was blocked with 2% lidocaine. The distribution of lidocaine around the nerve and the presence of motor deficit were evaluated. The FN was easily located and accurately blocked in all cases. This new ultrasound-guided approach was reliable for blocking the FN and might be a suitable alternative to the traditional approaches described to block the FN in the dog.
本前瞻性研究评估了一种经腹超声引导的股神经（FN）上方腹股沟入路阻滞技术在犬中的应用。在四个犬尸体标本中评估了 FN 的解剖特征。在另外五个尸体标本中，超声引导定位 FN，并通过注射黑色墨水和评估神经染色程度来评估该技术的准确性。在五只活犬中，用 2%利多卡因阻滞 FN。评估了局麻药在神经周围的分布情况和运动功能障碍的发生情况。在所有病例中，FN 均易于定位且能准确阻滞。这种新的超声引导方法可可靠地阻滞 FN，可能是一种替代传统 FN 阻滞方法的合适选择。
