Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2024 Mar;59(3):138-158. doi: 10.1055/a-2065-7624. Epub 2024 Mar 21.ABSTRACTBy implementation of sonography regional anesthesia became more relevant in the daily practice of anesthesia and pain therapy. Due to visualized needle guidance ultrasound supports more safety during needle placement. Thereby new truncal blocks got enabled. Next to the blocking of specific nerve structures, plane blocks got established which can also be described as interfascial compartment blocks. The present review illustrates published and established blocks in daily practice concerning indications and the procedural issues. Moreover, the authors explain potential risks, complications and dosing of local anesthetics.PMID:38513640 | DOI:10.1055/a-2065-7624
