Clinical sonopathology for the regional anesthesiologist: part 1: vascular and neural

Brian D Sites et al. Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2010 May-Jun.

Abstract

The use of ultrasound to facilitate regional anesthesia is an evolving area of clinical, education, and research interests. As our community's experience grows, it has become evident that anesthesiologists performing "routine" ultrasound-guided blocks may very well be confronted with atypical or even pathologic anatomy. As an educational resource for anesthesiologists, the following articles present examples of common sonopathology that may be encountered during ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. This present article describes sonopathology related to blood vessels and nerves.
