Impact of Virtual Cadaveric Anatomy on Optimizing Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia for Peripheral Nerve blocks

Abstract

Regional anesthesia is a fast growing field fuelled by the guide of ultrasound technique, which introduce the visualization of tissues (nerves, muscles, etc) and offers to anesthetist a chance to optimize highly blockade success (Arbona et al., 2011). The professionalism of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia in a scope of practical experience reveals that understanding of anatomical basics is mandatory and an essential element for identifying all the structures seen on the ultrasound screen (Warman et al., 2014). Therefore, attention to detailed regional anesthesia with development of practical skills must be initiated by clinical anatomy, which clearly demonstrated that cadaveric anatomy remains the cornerstone of effective regional anesthesia (Warman et al., 2014). This essay departs from the classical land-marks based approach through a unique and clinical relevant relation between classic anatomy text book images, cadaveric anatomy images and ultrasound images for creation of pearl stones summarizing the way to highly efficient nerve blockade (David et al., 2015).
