Article Synopsis
- Acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a critical condition that necessitates prompt and precise diagnosis to avoid severe complications.
- Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly used in acute care settings, allowing trained providers to perform quick and accurate assessments for DVT at the bedside.
- The paper introduces a three-zone protocol for DVT imaging that simplifies the process of obtaining necessary vascular images at key compression points in the lower extremity.
Study Objectives: The aim of our study was to establish the angle of needle insertion from the anterior chest wall during ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block and to examine for any correlation between body mass index (BMI) and insertion angle.
Design: This is a prospective observational study.
Setting: The setting is at an operating room, university-affiliated teaching hospital.
