Abstract: SummaryIt is proposed that ultrasound guidance decreases the risk of intraneural injection and associated postoperative neurological complications. However, the incidence of unintentional intraneural injection with ultrasound is unknown. Two hundred and fifty-seven patients were enrolled in a prospective, single-blind observational study. All patients underwent a pre-operative neurological examination before ambulatory shoulder arthroscopy with sedation and ultrasound-guided interscalene or supraclavicular blo… Show more

“…handling is still mandatory to locate and keep the target in view. Retrospective analysis of uneventful two-dimensional ultrasound-guided nerve blocks reveals that unseen nerve swelling was frequent [10,11]. The different layers inside and around the nerve cannot be differentiated from each other with the resolution of current ultrasonic machines.…”

“…This does not imply that these techniques are without complications. Although none of the patients suffered from postoperative neurological complications an incidence of unintentional intraneural injection of 17% was reported for ultrasound guided interscalene and supraclavicular nerve blocks (Liu et al 2011). …”

“…Furthermore, in a guided intervention using 2D US, bi-manual coordination of the tool and US transducer for maintaining the perfect alignment is challenging and an inadequate view of the tool leads to an erroneous placement. For this reason, medical specialists need considerable practicing and training to increase the success of interventions and yet they may become too much focused on finding the tool in the ultrasound field rather than the treatment itself [1].…”
