Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve blocks is a useful approach for below- knee surgery. Using the injection pressure monitoring device.
OBJECTIVE:
This study to assess the role of opening Injection Pressure monitoring device in providing and avoid nerve injury in patients who underwent, popliteal sciatic nerve block under ultrasound-guided.
METHODS:
This study involve fifty patients underwent unilateral below knee amputation were randomly assigned under ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block and femoral nerve block have been done, with use opening Injection Pressure monitoring device and additional ultrasound guided.
RESULTS: :
Regarding the pressure of the injections monitoring , we noticed that in this study, the highest proportion of study patients recorded needle nerve contact (44%) ,needed low pressure CONCLUSION: There is high incidence of intraneural needle placement or needle neve contact of nerve under ultrasound guide.
