Point-of-care ultrasound in obstetric anesthesia clinical practice.

Current opinion in anaesthesiology
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in obstetric anesthesia. This review synthesizes key studies and reviews published within the last 2 years on its application in clinical practice w...

Evaluation of AI-based nerve segmentation on ultrasound: relevance of standard metrics in the clinical setting.

British journal of anaesthesia
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...

Waveform characteristics in thoracic paravertebral space: a prospective observational study.

F1000Research
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...

Automatic Segmentation of Ultrasound-Guided Quadratus Lumborum Blocks Based on Artificial Intelligence.

Journal of imaging informatics in medicine
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) technology has become a widely used perioperative analgesia method during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Due to the anatomical complexity and individual variability of the quadratus lumborum muscle (Q...

Investigation of Appropriate Scaling of Networks and Images for Convolutional Neural Network-Based Nerve Detection in Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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 ...

Beyond the Echo: The Evolution and Revolution of Ultrasound in Anesthesia.

Anesthesia and analgesia
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...

Perioperative analgesic efficacy of lumbar erector spinae plane block in dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy: a randomized blinded clinical trial.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative analgesic effect of the unilateral lumbar erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy.

Ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block in Wistar rat cadavers: Relevant anatomy and injection distribution.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
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.

Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Anterior, Posterior and Combination of Quadratus Lumborum Block in Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgeries: A Pilot Study.

Asian journal of anesthesiology
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...

Ultrasound Image-Guided Nerve Block Combined with General Anesthesia under an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm on Patients Undergoing Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer during and after Operation.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
This study was aimed at investigating the location of gastric cancer by using a gastroscope image based on an artificial intelligence algorithm for gastric cancer and the effect of ultrasonic-guided nerve block combined with general anesthesia on pat...
