Landmark Technique for a Wrist Block

Full video article: jbjs.org/reader.php?source=JB...
Effective anesthesia of the hand and wrist has many uses inside and outside the operating room. In the emergency department or fracture clinic, a wrist block may be used for closed reductions of dislocations and fractures or for effective inspection and treatment of wounds. In the operating room, surgery may be carried out under a wrist block alone or a wrist block may be used as an adjunct to general anesthesia as the block is an opiate-sparing option to facilitate outpatient surgery and to provide many hours of postoperative analgesia, particularly if administered prior to the commencement of surgery.
The landmark technique for distal peripheral nerve blocks at the wrist is a well-recognized method and is described for the median nerve, ulnar nerve, superficial branch of the radial nerve, and dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. To make this technique more effective for carpal surgery, blocks of the posterior interosseous and anterior interosseous nerves are added.

Am I only one, who noticed that he didn't aspirate, before injecting???

good video for a doctor!!

[@Brindusaxx]

Doesn't the anesthetic go subcutaneous instead of the perineural region (considering the nerve going beneath the fascia)?

[@obsessed33]

was wondering the same. also i dont see why applying it into the carpal tunnel from ulnar should be a problem
