We report in 3 patients that high-frequency ultrasound 3-dimensional imaging enabled us to analyze anatomic variations, evaluate local anesthetic spread, and optimize a perineural catheter location by withdrawing it until its tip was appropriately positioned. This innovative technology may provide answers to different problems facing the operator performing ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. It may enhance predictability and safety aspects of peripheral nerve blocks.
我们在 3 名患者中报告称,高频超声三维成像使我们能够通过撤回导管直至其尖端适当定位来分析解剖变异、评估局部麻醉药的扩散并优化神经周围导管的位置。这项创新技术可能为进行超声引导神经阻滞的操作者面临的不同问题提供答案。它可以增强外周神经阻滞的可预测性和安全性。
