USG Guided Peripheral Nerve Block

Ultrasound (USG) guided nerve block is an evolving field that offers many potential benefits for surgery and anaesthesia. Nerves supplying the area of surgery are identified using ultrasound and drugs are deposited very close to the nerves which will provide pain relief and anaesthesia for surgery. This will ensure more definite and predictable action of the anaesthesia. The doses of drugs are also reduced. A complete body anaesthesia is avoided thereby reducing morbidity and mortality associated with anaesthesia significantly.
