Anaesthesia, 05/08/09
Danelli G et al. - The authors evaluated whether ultrasound guidance can shorten the onset time of popliteal sciatic nerve block as compared to nerve stimulation with a multiple injection technique. A blinded observer recorded onset of sensory and motor blocks, success rates, the need for fentanyl intra-operatively, the requirement for general anaesthesia, procedure-related pain, patient satisfaction and side-effects. Ultrasound guidance reduced needle redirections, were associated with less procedural pain and required less time to perform. Ultrasound guidance reduced the time needed for block performance and procedural pain.
