Sciatic nerve block made easy for resident trainers

The infragluteal parabiceps approach to sciatic nerve might be easier to be learnt by trainees with reasonable success rate and performance time and less incidence of complications. After ethical approval, infragluteal and Labat approaches for sciatic nerve block (n = 50 for each) were performed by...

Description
Summary:The infragluteal parabiceps approach to sciatic nerve might be easier to be learnt by trainees with reasonable success rate and performance time and less incidence of complications. After ethical approval, infragluteal and Labat approaches for sciatic nerve block (n = 50 for each) were performed by five trainees at 3rd grade of anesthesia training program. We recorded the changes in the times to performance of the block, and onset of sensory block, the patients' satisfaction and difficulty of the technique for the trainees. Performance time was 3-3.5 min with Labat approach and 2-2.75 min with infra-gluteal approach (P
