A popliteal sciatic nerve block done with the Sonosite SII ultrasound machine is a clinically valuable technique that results in anaesthesia of the calf, tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot. Anaesthesiologist Dr. David Auyong MD of Seattle, Washington here reviews scanning techniques and sonographic landmarks for the procedure, discussing important structures, techniques to visualise the popliteal vein, types of probe used, and needle/injection choices. The Sonosite II allows precise placement of local anaesthetic, much reducing patient discomfort, providing superior visualisation of the nerve and the needle during block placement.

This video (part 2 of 2) focuses on positive findings found during right upper quadrant (RUQ) ultrasound examinations; it also includes instructions for performing the trauma FAST RUQ-hepatorenal ultrasound exams
This video details how using long-axis and short-axis suprapubic views during a trauma FAST ultrasound examination enables clinicians to identify fluid in a trauma patient's pelvic cavity.
The left upper quadrant (LUQ) ultrasound exam can help clinicians more accurately diagnose intra-abdominal injuries. Topics: infra-diaphragmatic and splenorenal spaces, & how to identify free fluid caused by a trauma.
