Anatomy Flashcards
superficial cervical plexus
block
- c1-c4
- ONLY cutaneous blocked
- BLOCK: midpoint of posterior border of SCM
- often block ACCESSORY nn accidentally with it (cn 11)
5 nn of superficial cervical plexus
1-Greater auricular 2-LESSER occipital 3-GREATER occipital 4-transverse cervical 5-supraclavicular
Superior surface of posterior arytenoids
INTERNAL branch of SUPERIOR laryngeal nn
Superior Laryngeal Nerve
-block thru thyrohyoid membrane
- base of epiglottis
- superior portion of cords
- arytenoids
- glottic opening
cricothyroid membrane injection
VOCAL cords block and below (captures recurrent laryngeal)
Recurrent Laryngeal territory
up to vocal cords
Glossopharyngeal territory
- upper epiglottis
- base of tongue
- back of oropharynx
BLOCK: behind tonsillar pillars
(retropharyngeal hematoma, CAROTID receptors afferent pathways…increasing pressure….can get bradycardia!!)
ALL MUSCLES OF AIRWAY INNERVATED BY RECURRENT LARYNGEAL EXCEPT:
cricothyroid mm (external br of SLN)
DOES: TENSOR of vocal cords
Stellate ganglion block in relation to carotids
MEDIAL to carotid pulse ANTERIOR to C6 transverse process
–(80% of people) lowest cervical ganglion is fused with the first thoracic ganglion to form the cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion
stellate ganglion located:
- anterior to pre vertebral fascia
- medial to carotid sheath
- vertebral artery passes ANTERIOR to ganglion at C7, BUT is posterior to anterior tubercle of C6 (90%)
palpate this to locate C6 level
cricoid cartilage
CHASSAIGNAC’s tubercle is C6 TP….felt just lateral to the cartilage
syndrome get with stellate block
HORNER’s
- ptosis
- miosis
- anhydrosis
THIS DOES NOT IMPLY SYMPATHETIC DENERVATION of arm. only that there’s cephalic sympathetic blockade
MOST common clinical sign of sympathetic blockade with stellate block
INCREASE in skin temp [>50% increase in skin blood flow]
will approximate core temp
vertebral artery originates from?
from subclavian aa
stellate block PROOF
-adrenergic activity confirm PLUS sympathetic cholinergic activity
left SUBCLAVIAN line placement can result in?
chylothorax; thoracic duct compromise
anterior border of the lumbar epidural space?
posterior longitudinal ligament
epidural space borders?
ANTER-Post longitud ligament of vertebral body
LATERAL-pedicles and intervertebral foramina
POSTER- flavum
SUPER-foramen mag
INFER-sacral hiatus
plexus in epidural space?
BATSON venous plexus
out to in: epidural space
- supraspinous lig
- interspinous lig
- ligament FLAV
- epid space
- THRU SPINAL CORD
- posterior spinous ligament
- vertebral body
