Dislocation rates of perineural catheters placed either perpendicular or parallel to the femoral nerve: A randomised controlled trial

CONCLUSION Rotating the ultrasound probe to the long-axis in-plane view enabled examination of the catheter position when it was placed parallel to the nerve. The parallel placement of the catheter required more time, but did not significantly improve dislocation rate, pain scores or sensory blockade. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03693755.
