BACKGROUND: Paravertebral block has similar effect as epidural anesthesia, and has good somatic and visceral analgesic effect. Paravertebral block is widely used in thoracic surgery, but rarely used in abdominal surgery.
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound-guided nerve block anesthesia (UGNB) is a high-tech visual nerve block anesthesia method that can be used to observe the target nerve and its surrounding structures, the puncture needle's advancement and local anesthetics spread...
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.
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...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the generalization performance of deep learning segmentation models on a large cohort intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image dataset over the lumen and external elastic membrane (EEM), and to assess...
Successful ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block (SCB) requires the understanding of sonoanatomy and identification of the optimal view. Segmentation using a convolutional neural network (CNN) is limited in clearly determining the optimal view. The...
