INNER VIEW Ultrasound imaging provides real-time visualization of targeted nerves, the approaching needle and spreading anesthesia.Less post-op pain, shorter recoveries, reduced side effects and limited complications — regional anesthesia has clearly transformed orthopedic surgery's potential. Ultrasound imaging only adds to regional's widespread benefits by giving anesthesia providers real-time visualization of a target nerve, the needle as it approaches, the structures they're aiming to avoid and the spread of the local anesthesia they've injected. Are ultrasound-guided nerve blocks right for your facility? Consider the answers to these 5 common questions about the imaging technology to find out.
