Survey Names Sonosite System of Choice for Peripheral Nerve Blocks
A late 2012 poll conducted by New York School of Regional Anesthesia and appearing in the NYSORA newsletter indicated Sonosite was the preferred system for ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks among physicians polled. Out of the total number of 3611votes, Sonosite received 3587 – about 99 per cent. The survey was conducted by Admir Hadzic, Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology, St. Luke Roosevelt and Columbia University, and NYSORA president.
