Background and Objectives The use of ultrasound for in-plane interscalene block shifts
needle insertion to a more posterior approach through the middle scalene muscle, when …

Purpose The conventional ultrasound-guided interscalene block targets the C5 and C6
nerve roots at approximately the level of the cricoid cartilage where they lie in the groove …

To the Editor: We read with great interest Drs. Hanson and Auyong's article1 regarding the
identification of the dorsal scapular and long thoracic nerves during ultrasound-guided …

Background Recent investigations of local anesthetic distribution in the lower extremity have
revealed that completely surrounding the sciatic nerve with local anesthetic provides the …

Objective Previous studies have examined ultrasound-assisted brachial plexus blocks, but
few have applied this imaging technology to the interscalene region. We report a case of …

Background and Objectives The “stoplight” sign is a frequently described image during
ultrasound-guided interscalene block, referring to 3 hypoechoic structures found between …

Interscalene block is often used for shoulder and upper arm surgery. This form of regional
anaesthesia decreases pain, nausea, vomiting associated with general anaesthesia, length …

Objectives Ultrasound‐guided interscalene brachial plexus blocks are commonly used to
provide anesthesia for the shoulder and proximal upper extremity. Some reviews identify a …

Although ultrasound‐guided regional anaesthesia has gained in popularity, few data exist
describing the optimal location (s) to inject local anaesthetic. Our objective was to compare …
