The technology and clinical understanding of anatomical sonography has evolved greatly
over the past decade. In the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the …

Background. We report a prospective, randomized study to evaluate ultrasound guidance for
epidural catheter placement in children 0–6 yr of age. Methods. Epidural catheters were …

Background The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is usually performed by landmark-
based methods. This prospective, randomized, and double-blinded study was designed to …

Background. The ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block is a popular regional anaesthetic
technique for children undergoing inguinal surgery. The success rate is only 70–80% and …

We prospectively studied 40 patients (ASA grades IIII) undergoing surgery of the forearm
and hand, to investigate the use of ultrasonic cannula guidance for supraclavicular brachial …

Ultrasonography may offer significant advantages in regional anaesthesia of the upper and
lower limbs. It is not known if the same advantages demonstrated in adults also apply to …

The use of ultrasound reduces the onset time, improves the quality of sensory block, and
minimizes the risks associated with the supraclavicular approach for brachial plexus and …

Background and Objectives. Recently it has been demonstrated that the use of ultrasound
(US) improves the onset time and the quality of sensory block for 3-in-1 blocks compared …

Background and Objectives: The use of ultrasonography in regional anesthetic blocks has
rapidly evolved over the past few years. It has been speculated that ultrasound guidance …

Background Recent studies have shown that ultrasound guidance for paediatric regional
anaesthesia can improve the quality of upper extremity and neuraxial blocks. We therefore …
