It should help anyone’s confidence in what they’re doing to be able to see what they’re doing.”Īttend this webinar to learn the how using wireless ultrasound can help you perform quicker, safer procedures with less guesswork, and in many cases less anesthetic for more effective blocks. Hickman will share the advantages of wireless ultrasound for regional anesthesiology, “It improves your speed of being able to do the block, and it actually improves the duration of block because you’re getting more local around the target nerve versus doing it blind where you really don’t see it. Hickman will share his techniques for using high-resolution wireless ultrasound to perform 3 different pre-op blocks quickly, accurately, and efficiently to deliver maximum pain management for ACL repair surgery.ĭr. Depending on the surgery being performed and rehabilitation that follows, only select nerves need to be blocked, while and others avoided. Innervation of the knee joint and surrounding tissues is complex. High-resolution ultrasound has proven invaluable in the precision and accuracy required to perform these blocks. Using an in-plane approach, a 20-gauge Tuohy needle was inserted from medial to lateral to position the needle tip between the popliteal artery and. An effective adductor canal block can actually facilitate post-operative rehab. For the iPACK block, a high-frequency ultrasound transducer was used to visualize the popliteal artery and posterior surface of the distal femoral shaft after adductor canal catheter insertion. Anesthesiologists work “behind the scenes” to ensure patients have minimal pain following knee surgeries, and at the same time ensuring sensory and motor function of the leg and foot is preserved.
