  • Title: Evidence-based medicine for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
    Author: Salinas FV, Hanson NA.
    Journal: Anesthesiol Clin; 2014 Dec; 32(4):771-87. PubMed ID: 25453661.
    Abstract:
    Available evidence favoring the use of ultrasound for regional anesthesia is reviewed, updated, and critically assessed. Important outcome advantages include decreased time to block onset; decreased risk of local anesthetic systemic toxicity; and, depending on the outcome definition, increased block success rates. Ultrasound guidance, peripheral nerve blocks, and central neuraxial blocks are discussed.
