Nerve-stimulator-guided Videos

This video tutorial discusses the continuous thoracic paravertebral block. The viewer is also referred to the High-Yield Block section for ultrasound-assisted TPVB.

This is a video tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided continuous lumbar plexus block. It is also known as the psoas compartment block or the lumbar paravertebral block. There is zero or almost zero good indica block. There is zero or almost zero good indicationtions for performing a single-injection lumbar plaxus block. And, if we do, w

This is a video tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided single-injection interscalene nerve block. It deals with the applied anatomy and the technique in great detail. Like all other continuous nerve blocks, secondary block failure is a huge problem if the catheter is not placed in the correct perineural compartment (see the microanatomy section for detail). Experience has taught us that needle placement with ultrasound and then catheter placement with nerve stimulator guidance provides the best of both worlds and…

This is a video tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block. It deals with the applied anatomy and the technique in great detail. Like all other continuous nerve blocks, secondary block failure is a huge problem if the catheter is not placed in the correct perineural compartment (see the microanatomy section for detail).

This is a video tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided single-injection subgluteal sciatic nerve block. It deals with the applied anatomy and the technique in great detail.

This is a tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided continuous infraclavicular block. It deals with the applied anatomy and the technique in great detail. This is a very successful block, but this continuous infraclavicular has to be done as described here aiming the needle toward the proximal parts of the cords where they are all together in the same circumneurium and before they split off to arrange around the axillary artery to form three separate cords. The ultrasound- and nerve…

This is a video tutorial that discusses the ultrasound and nerve stimulator-guided single-injection supraclavicular nerve block. It deals with the applied anatomy (BoezaartV031a) and the technique (BoezaartV031b) in great detail. The ultrasound-guided version of this block is a much safer choice, because the nerve stimulator-guided version may have a high incidence of pneumothorax. Ultrasound guidance has elevated this block from a seldom done block to the go-to high yield block for distal upper limb surgery. It is very effective and…

This is a video tutorial that discusses the nerve stimulator-guided single-injection femoral nerve block. It deals with the applied anatomy and the technique in great detail. This is a very effective and safe block and no difference in effectivity or safety could be demonstrated between the nerve-stimulator- and ultrasound0guided versions of it. The choice is based on personal choice and equipment availability.
