Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Block in the Anesthetic Considerations for Vascular Surgery – An Alternative Choice for Neuroaxial Anesthesia Techniques

“…Hence, the rate of success was limited, and it was somewhat like an art of the skilled hands. However, as a result of the advance of ultrasound machine technology (Asakura, et al, 2008b), the anesthesiologists come to perform peripheral nerve block with more than 90% rate of success virtually without any complications. As such, ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block has come to gain popularity recently worldwide (Marhofer et al 2007).…”

Ultrasound-guided sternal bone marrow aspiration

“…Recently, ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization as well as for peripheral nerve block has gained popularity and been shown to reduce the rate of complications [ 3 4 5 6 ]. We have shown that ultrasound guidance for sternum bone marrow aspiration may potentially eliminate the fatal complications associated with cardiovascular injury.…”
