- The study aims to standardize ultrasound identification of key anatomical structures for seven basic ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) blocks due to the lack of universally agreed criteria.
- An international consensus was established using a modified Delphi process, allowing experts to anonymously refine a long-list of structures into strong and weak recommendations based on participant feedback.
- Ultimately, strong recommendations were made for 35 structures during orientation scanning and 28 for the block view, while weak recommendations covered 36 and 20 structures, respectively, promoting consistent practice and education in UGRA.
Pain resulting from lower leg injuries and consequent surgery can be severe. There is a range of opinion on the use of regional analgesia and its capacity to obscure the symptoms and signs of acute compartment syndrome. We offer a multi-professional, consensus opinion based on an objective review of case reports and case series.
