  • Title: Ultrasonographic evaluation of neck hematoma and block salvage after failed neurostimulation-guided interscalene block.
    Author: Howell SM, Unger MW, Colson JD, Serafini M.
    Journal: J Clin Anesth; 2010 Nov; 22(7):560-1. PubMed ID: 21056816.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound-guided regional anesthetic techniques have shown some advantages over conventional paresthesia and neurostimulation techniques. We report the case of a neurostimulation-guided continuous interscalene block that would have ended in complication were it not for experience with ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. Familiarity with ultrasound-guided block techniques permitted assessment of a neck hematoma during interscalene block and ultimately allowed successful peripheral nerve block.
