| Popis: |
Ilioinguinal nerve blockade is an effective technique for both perioperative and chronic pain conditions in adult and pediatric practice. Ultrasound guidance can increase the success rate and reduce the complications associated with performing ilioinguinal nerve blockade. Obese patients present a particular challenge with ilioinguinal block as the overlying abdominal pannus impedes the ultrasound view by increasing the depth to target and necessitating an out-of-plane approach. We demonstrate that modification of the technique by placing the patient into the lateral decubitus position reduces the depth to target and allows an in-plane approach to be utilized. |
