Additonal Blocks Flashcards
Key points about paravertebral blocks
profound analgesia
can do single shot or continuous catheter
okay in anticoagulated patients
preserve bladder sensation
intact motor/sensory distal to block
absolute contraindication for PVB?
empyema
what makes up each side of paravertebral space?
parietal pleura
posterlateral aspect of vertebral body
sup. costotransverse ligament (SCT) / internal intercostal membrane (IIM)
what is the sup costotransverse ligament continuous with?
internal intercostal membrane
sup costotransverse ligament runs from what to what?
inf aspect of transverse process to rib below it
volumes for single shot and continous catheter in PVB?
single shot: 5-7cc per segment
continuous: 6-10cc/hr
where do you inject if using landmark approach to PVB?
2.5cm lateral from midline and 2-6cm deep
name this block
transverse in plane PVB
Name the block and structures
transverse in plane PVB
pleural line
internal intercostal muscle
transverse process
name this block and structures
parasaggital in plane approach to PVB
transverse process
costotransverse ligament
paravertebral space
pleura
goal is depression of the pleura, shimmer may be seen
volume for intercostal block?
3-5cc of LA at each level blocked
tell me about the intercostal block
insertion site is at the angle of the rib, 6-8cm to spinous process
how many methods to cervical plexus block? and do they block motor or sensory?
2:
superficial: only sensory
deep: sensory and motor
how do you do a deep cervical plexus block with landmark technique?
at post border of SCM
C2 2cm below mastoid
C3 4cm below mastoid
C4 6cm below mastoid
insert needle at desired level, hit TP, withdraw slightly and inject
volume for deep cervical plexus block with landmark technique?
5cc
what is chassaignacs tubercle
TP of C6
what is this? how do you do it?
superficial cervical plexus
halfway between mastoid process and C6 TP subq injection at post border of SCM, perpendicular, caudal, cephalad
what is this block?
superficial cervical plexus block
What block and what structures?
superficial cervical plexus block
SCM
middle scalene muscle
cervical plexus
ant scalene
carotid artery
nerves of the nose?
greater and lesser platine
ant ethmoid
gen sensation to upper and middle larynx?
internal branch of sup laryngeal nerve
gen sensation below lower larynx
recurrent laryngeal nerve
motor innervation of all larynx intrinsic muscles except the cricothyroid?
recurrent laryngeal
innervation of the cricothyroid muscle
external branch of super laryngeal nerve
sensory to post 1/3 of tounge?
glossopharyngeal
