Brilliant as usual 👌 Keep moving forward 👍 Looking forward to seeing more videos like this , concise &to the point .

Very informative and high yield content

[@MrVeer58]

Many thanks for the tips to make the nerves visible.

[@regionalanesthesiology]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@vaishalibhatejoshi7328]

Excellent as always !

[@younsil9767]

I love your analogy

[@uramalakia]

Of all the peripheral nerve blocks, this one scares me the most at the moment. Out of over a thousand blocks I've done, the 5 patients that had problems afterwards were all after popliteal nerve blocks. Luckily, all the patients fully recovered but still. I'm clearly doing something wrong and have no idea what. I have no senior colleagues with more experience to turn to for advice or help. EDIT: grammar

[@kodiknott7418]

Try adding the use of nerve stimulation to establish that the needle is not intraneural. See NYSORA info on this

Excuse me, Sir/Madam. What are the dangers of this Procedure? Im not a Doctor, neither living in the US but my popliteal is hurting like hell meanwhile waiting for my EMG results. Thanks for your advice.

I much prefer doing this block out of plane on patients in the lateral position. It is more comfortable for awake patients with OOP, in my experience. OOP the needle trajectory is easier to pop into the sheath without contacting either nerve. With IP you're always pointed slightly at one nerve or another, like in the video.

I found identification of nerves may be challenging because of anisotropy. If you please concentrate on nerve visualization in coming videos. Thanks

[@muhammadfikry7073]

You can tilt the probe caudally to get a better image of both nerves .

[@sleepkeeper42069]

Can you guys do some tips to optimize different US machines to help us get the type of quality of pictures that you guys get? Thanks, you are the best!!

[@sibtainbukhari5447]

Excellent video

[@regionalanesthesiology]

Thanks!!

[@wafaibrahim369]

Nice work

[@regionalanesthesiology]

Thanks for watching!

[@deemckinney1238]

Why did it fail to work on me? The anesthesiologist was quite experienced. Very frustrating after my foot fusion.

[@jcbarker1]

Local anesthetic probably not placed beneath the nerve sheath.

Thanks

[@tanvirmajumder922]

i don't know why you have to talk this fast in all your videos. this are good videos but the speed is not ear soothing 😢

[@namir91]

KZbin allows you to change the playback speed. slow it down if its too fast. I like his pacing, to the point and efficient

[@prankzone1412]

i disagree with you and think that this video is very great and soothing to the ears

[@regionalanesthesiology]

Thanks @Prankzone1412 appreciate your support for the channel!

[@regionalanesthesiology]

Thanks for watching! Sorry it seems fast to you-I try to keep it lively and moving along-in fact many of our residents speed it up to 2x lol! But appreciate your feedback!!
