Translated title:
Ultrasound needle imaging. Application in regional anaesthesia
Summary:
Successful regional anaesthesia can be summed up by the axiom “The right drug, in the right dose, in the right place”. The process of getting the drug to the right place has evolved from the routine elicitation of paraesthesia, to the use of peripheral nerve stimulation, and most recently, ultrasound (US) guidance.
The four major categories of skill sets associated with proficiency in ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia are
1) understanding device operations,
2) image optimization,
3) image interpretation and
4) visualization of needle insertion and injection of the local anesthetic solution.
Of these, visualization of needle insertion and injection of local anaesthetic solution can be practiced using simulators and phantoms.
