Ultrasound guided popliteal sciatic and femoral nerve block for below knee surgeries
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Many patients with older age group and co morbidities face multiple problems to undergo surgeries of the lower limb patients with cardiac co-morbidities have limitations with anaesthesia techniques as spinal anaesthesia is contraindicated in patients having low ejection fraction. Patients having infective pathologies with raised total leucocyte count also cannot be given spinal anaesthesia. Thus in these patients general anaesthesia is preferred over spinal anaesthesia. This makes the patient undergo a wide range of shortcomings like ventilatory support, desaturation, prolonged hospital stay, Increased cost of the ICU stay etc. We aimed at reducing all these short comings in 3 patients undergoing below knee surgeries by giving them ultrasound guided popliteal sciatic nerve block and femoral nerve block for intra operative anaesthesia.
