Official title
Incidence of Intraneural Needle Insertion in Ultrasound Guided Femoral Block: Out of Plane Versus in Plane Approach
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block is a common regional anesthesia technique. The optimal method of needle guidance (in-plane versus out-of-plane) with regards to the block efficacy and avoidance of needle-nerve contact has not been established. In this study the investigators tests the hypothesis that the incidence of needle-nerve contact is higher with the needle insertion in an out-of-plane than with the in-plane approach.
