A Standardized Method for 4D Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Blockade and Catheter Placement

We present a standardized method for using four-dimensional ultrasound (4D US) guidance for peripheral nerve blocks. 4D US allows for needle tracking in multiple planes simultaneously and accurate measurement of the local anesthetic volume surrounding the nerve following injection. Additionally, th...
