Backround/objectives: We investigated a technique that facilitates the coiling of a regular straight catheter (with integral stylet) behind the sciatic nerve in an ultrasound (US) regional anaesthesia simulator, and then applied our findings to a series of orthopedic-trauma patients.
Methods: We conducted a randomized study of two methods of perineural catheter advancement in a sciatic nerve block Blue Phantom simulator. Two groups of twenty catheters each (method A and method B) were evaluated under real-time ultrasound imaging.
Background: Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) is an established method for treating persistent and severe pain conditions. However, performing DRGS has significant challenges. Current DRGS systems are expensive, hindering accessibility for many patients and health care systems.
