Classic Block Techniques
Lumbar Paravertebral (Psoas Compartment) Block
This block is mainly indicated for the management of pain associated with unilateral lower limb surgery. Neuraxial block may well be more effective in producing lower extremity block, but there are patients in whom avoidance of bilateral lower extremity block or the sympathectomy accompanying neuraxial block is desirable [1]. It may also be used in patients on anticoagulation therapy where neuraxial block is contraindicated.
Genitofemoral Block
The block of the peripheral branches of the genitofemoral nerve is performed with the patient in supine position. The main anatomical landmarks are identified: the pubic tubercle, inguinal ligament, inguinal crease and femoral artery. ...
Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric Blocks
“Almost all cases of hernia, with the possible exception of those in young children, could undoubtedly be subjected to the radical operation under local anesthesia.”...
Saphenous Nerve Block
Blocks of the lateral femoral cutaneous, posterior femoral cutaneous, saphenous, sural and superficial peroneal nerves are useful anesthetic techniques for a variety of superficial surgical procedures....
Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block
Continuous thoracic paravertebral blockade is an advanced regional anesthesia technique and adequate experience with the single-shot technique is a prerequisite....
Thoracic Paravertebral Block
The thoracic paravertebral block is a technique of injecting local anesthetic in the vicinity of the thoracic spinal nerves emerging from the intervertebral foramen with the resultant ipsilateral somatic and sympathetic nerve blockade....
Thoraco Lumbar Paravertebral Block
A paravertebral block is an advanced nerve block technique. Although in principle, the technique is similar to that of the thoracic paravertebral block, its anatomy and indications are sufficiently distinct to deserve separate consideration....
Wrist Block
A wrist block is the technique of blocking branches of the ulnar, medial, and radial nerves at the level of the wrist....
Digital Nerve Block
A digital block is the technique of blocking the nerves of the digits to achieve anesthesia of the finger(s). This technique is simple to perform and essentially devoid of systemic complications. It is a commonly used and effective method of anes-thesia for a wide variety of minor surgical procedures on the digits...
Ankle Block
An ankle block is essentially a block of four branches of the sciatic nerve (deep and superficial peroneal, tibial and sural nerves) and one cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve (saphe-nous nerve)....
