BACKGROUND: With increased use of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in thoracic surgery, many faced the challenge of locating the thoracic paravertebral space (TPVS) ultrasonographically. This observational study aimed to investigate the waveform c...
BACKGROUND: The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is an effective technique to provide analgesia for upper and lower abdominal surgeries. There are various approaches described in the literature, but the best approach is still to be explored. This study...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative analgesic effect of the unilateral lumbar erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy.
INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of clarity regarding the ideal local anaesthetic volume for modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane (mTLIP) block. This study was designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of two different volumes of bupivacaine 0...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of an ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block by describing the sonoanatomy and comparing the distribution of two volumes of bupivacaine dye solution for nerve staining.

Ultrasound guided nerve blocks are increasingly being used in perioperative care as a means of safely delivering analgesia. Unfortunately, identifying nerves in ultrasound images presents a challenging task for novice anesthesiologists. Drawing from ...
BACKGROUND: Regional anesthetic nerve blocks are widely used in the treatment of pain after outpatient surgery to reduce opioid consumption. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a recently described technique with promising results in different scenar...
This article explores the evolving role of ultrasound technology in anesthesia. Ultrasound emerged decades ago, offering clinicians noninvasive, economical, radiation-free, and real-time imaging capabilities. It might seem that such an old technology...
Ultrasound imaging is an essential tool in anesthesiology, particularly for ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (US-PNBs). However, challenges such as speckle noise, acoustic shadows, and variability in nerve appearance complicate the accurate ...
BACKGROUND: In artificial intelligence for ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, accurate nerve identification is essential. The technology community typically favours objective metrics of pixel overlap on still-frame images, whereas clinical asses...
