Evidence-based medicine for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Available evidence favoring the use of ultrasound for regional anesthesia is reviewed, updated, and critically assessed. Important outcome advantages include decreased time to block onset; decreased risk of local anesthetic systemic toxicity; and, depending on the outcome definition, increased block success rates. Ultrasound guidance, peripheral nerve blocks, and central neuraxial blocks are discussed.
