Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block is a procedure used in anesthesia that allows real-time imaging of the positions of the targeted nerve, needle, and surrounding vasculature.[1] This improves the ease of performing the procedure, increases the success rate, and may reduce the risk of complications.[2] It may also reduce the amount of local anesthetics requried,[3] while reducing the onset time of blocks.[4]
