Ultrasound-guided LMBB by Caudal-cranial Approach: Radiographic Comparison of a New Ultrasound-guided Method

Belgium40 participantsStarted 2023-04-21

Plain-language summary

The current standard technique is radiography requiring three uni- or bilateral punctures (transverse-axial plane). The ultrasound technique is also described mainly in this plan but a new "caudal-cranial" ultrasound-guided technique was described by Chang et al in 2018 in which the major axis is used to conduct the needle to the desired area. The investigators would like to confirm that this new technique in a single puncture is also possible under ultrasound.
