Nerve localization techniques for peripheral nerve block and possible future directions [PDF]
Ultrasound guidance is now a standard nerve localization technique for peripheral nerve block (PNB). Ultrasonography allows simultaneous visualization of the target nerve, needle, local anesthetic injectate and surrounding anatomical structures. Accurate

Stimulator-Guided Supraclavicular Block as an Anesthetic Option for Above-Elbow Amputation in an Infant [PDF]
The supraclavicular block is effective in providing surgical anesthesia for upper limb surgery. The safety profile is improved with the use of a nerve stimulator to locate the brachial plexus.
