A cross-sectional survey study on French practice in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia was carried out. A questionnaire (demographic data, assessment of the likely benefits of ultrasonography, and its use in daily practice: blocks and hygiene) was emailed to all members of the French-speaking association of anesthesiologists involved in regional anesthesia. The questionnaire was filled out and returned by 634 experienced anesthesiologists. An ultrasound machine was available in 94% of cases. Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia has become the gold standard technique for three-quarters of responders. Axillary, interscalene, popliteal sciatic and femoral nerve blocks were performed by more than 90% of responders, most frequently under ultrasound supervision. Conversely, ultrasound guidance was rarely used for spinal or deep nerve blocks. A specific sterile sheath was used in only 43% of cases. The present study confirms that ultrasound guidance has gained in popularity for many superficial, but not deep, regional anesthesia procedures in France.
开展了一项关于法国超声引导区域麻醉实践的横断面调查研究。向参与区域麻醉的法语区麻醉医师协会的所有成员发送了一份问卷（人口统计学数据、超声检查可能的益处评估及其在日常实践中的应用：阻滞和卫生情况）。634名经验丰富的麻醉医师填写并返回了问卷。94%的情况下配备有超声仪。对于四分之三的应答者而言，超声引导区域麻醉已成为金标准技术。超过90%的应答者进行腋路、肌间沟、腘窝坐骨神经和股神经阻滞，大多数是在超声引导下进行。相反，超声引导很少用于脊髓或深部神经阻滞。仅43%的情况下使用了特定的无菌套。本研究证实，在法国，超声引导在许多浅表而非深部区域麻醉操作中越来越受欢迎。
