Popliteal sciatic nerve block is a widely used technique for lower limb anesthesia. However, despite ultrasound guidance, the complex anatomical structures of the popliteal fossa can present challenges, potentially leading to complications. To accura...
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...
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...
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...

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