The Sonosite SII ultrasound machine provides clear visualisation of needle and nerve during block placements, allowing precise placement of local anaesthetic with minimal patient discomfort. Interscalene nerve blocks with Sonosite II permit the placement of local anaesthetic around the roots or trunks of the brachial plexus at the level of the C6 vertebral body between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. Anaesthesiologist Dr. David Auyong MD of Seattle, Washington here reviews scanning techniques and sonographic landmarks for this procedure which is typically performed to provide anaesthesia or analgesia for surgery of the shoulder and upper arm.
This video details how to acquire accurate CIMT examination measurements, including ultrasound positioning, as well as how to create a report at the conclusion of the ultrasound examination.
Dr. David Auyong reviews scanning techniques and sonographic landmarks for a ultrasound-guided saphenous nerve block.
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.
