The video demonstrates how to perform an adductor canal block using a high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer with a nerve exam setting. The patient is positioned supine with their leg slightly externally rotated, and the transducer is placed medially at the mid-thigh in a transverse orientation. Key anatomical structures, including the femur, femoral artery, and vein, and surrounding muscles (sartorius, vastus medialis, and adductor longus), are identified. The saphenous nerve, appearing as a small, round hyperechoic structure, is targeted, or if not visible, injections are directed lateral to the femoral artery below the sartorius. The needle is inserted in-plane from lateral to medial, and once positioned, local anaesthetic is injected, creating a hypoechoic spread around the femoral artery to achieve effective anaesthesia. This technique can help you achieve successful pain management for the thigh region.
The wait is finally over. After years of developing ultrasound systems for research, FUJIFILM VisualSonics is pleased to introduce the Vevo® MD – the world’s first ultra high-frequency ultrasound system for routine clinical use: http://vevomd.com/. Ultra high-frequency means the highest resolution medical ultrasound available today. This ground breaking development opens up new possibilities for medical imaging that have never been seen before. Whether you're imaging tiny infants in the neonatal ward, detecting the tiniest of suspicious lesions, or monitoring the subtle changes in blood flow in the major arteries of the body, the Vevo MD produces unparalleled image resolution. Resolution as fine as 30 µm. Yes, 30 µm. That is less than half the size of a grain of sand. Imagine the potential of such a ground-breaking technology and its impact on the medical field to see what has never been seen before. When it comes to patient care and uncovering the smallest and most detailed information, the Vevo MD is simply the most revolutionary ultrasound technology to come along in decades. VisualSonics designed this latest system because we care, because we can and simply because Seeing More Matters. For more information on FUJIFILM VisualSonics, visit http://vevomd.com/
