Emergency US fellowship programs had a positive impact on residents' US educational experiences. Emergency medicine residents performed more scans overall and also used bedside US for more advanced applications in programs with EUS fellowships.
mergency physicians (EPs) have traditionally used the landmark technique to block the radial, ulnar, and median nerves at the wrist (Figure 1). Many times, however, there is a need to perform the block more proximally. Performing these blocks with real-time ultrasound guidance allows the clinician to visually target the nerve, requires less anesthetic agent, and helps to avoid vascular structures. As with any procedure, employing the appropriate technique, along with practice, increases the success of the block.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
