  • D.It is faster than any other method regardless of operator experience
Q2

One recognised advantage of ultrasound-guided nerve blockade over landmark-based techniques is that it can allow:

  • A.Higher doses of local anaesthetic to be used safely
  • B.Reduced local anaesthetic dosage while still achieving effective block
  • C.Complete avoidance of any risk of nerve injury
  • D.Blocks to be performed without any assistant present
Q3

For superficial peripheral nerve blocks, such as an axillary brachial plexus block, which type of ultrasound transducer is generally preferred?
