ABSTRACT

During the last years, technological advances have allow us to apply new imaging techniques to perform peripheral nerve blockade with the aim of improving anesthetic quality, as well as patients’ security. Therefore, during the 50s these techniques joined ultrasonography (diagnostic sonography) in order to perform peripheral nerve blockade. but this fact has several implications because there are three well-defined existing levels of learning, as follows: the need to know and learn the basis of ultrasonography (sonoanatomy); to get adapted to the modifications in the approaches that we usually take, because the transducers produces a modification in them. And probably the most important task in this learning is to be able to identify the nerve or the plexus through an image in real time. This article is a guideline to get oriented in ultrasound management and the performing of different nerve blockades which are of main interest for anesthesiologists.
