Abstract
A method for applying a regional block of the articular sensory branch of femoral (FN), obturator (ON) and accessory obturator nerves (AON) comprising injection of an anesthetic at a single needle entry point into a these nerves anatomical sites. Another aspect of this technology is a kit for performing this method.
Claims19
A method for inducing a regional block comprising the articular branches of the femoral nerve (FN), the obturator nerve (ON), and the accessory obturator nerve (AON), in a subject, the method comprising:
- injecting an anesthetic via a single needle entry point into a region around the high articular femoral branch and then
- changing the angle and direction of the single needle to inject the anesthetic around the obturator nerve stem, under guidance of a curvilinear ultrasound probe which provides a view of the regions containing the nerves to be injected.
A method of using a curvilinear ultrasound probe to image in one sonoanatomical frame a femoral nerve (FN), obturator nerve (ON) and accessory obturator nerve (AON) comprising placing the curvilinear ultrasound probe over an anatomical location of these nerves and, optionally, selecting a single entry point on the skin of a subject for injection of an anesthetic around the FN and ON, or around the FN, ON and AON.
A kit comprising at least one curvilinear ultrasound probe, needle suitable for injection an anesthetic around a femoral nerve (FN) and obturator nerve (ON), or around the FN, ON and accessory obturator nerve (AON), a syringe, and an anesthetic suitable for producing a nerve block.
