Peripheral nerve blocks and ultrasound navigation

Abstract

The use of ultrasound in anesthetic practice has contributed to the creation of new techniques for blocking peripheral nerves (PEC I, PEC II, TAP-block, QL-block, IPACK). At the same time, the creation of new blocks with ultrasound navigation deepens the gap between more experienced anesthesiologists and their younger colleagues who prefer to avoid the use of regional anesthesia. A way out of this situation seems to us to create and introduce into practice a list of “basic” methods of regional anesthesia, which can provide anesthesia during the most frequently performed surgical interventions. We believe that there is every reason to change the paradigm «many blockades for the elite» to «several blockades for all».
