Abstract Current techniques of sciatic nerve block are blind, and nerve localization can be frustrating and time consuming. Ultrasound‐guided subgluteal sciatic nerve block is performed with low‐frequency scanning probes (2‐5 MHz) to identify the sciatic nerve in the subgluteal space and guide the needle advancement to target nerves before injection of the local anesthetic. This technique is compared with the use of a nerve stimulator in pediatric surgical patients. Key words: Ultrasound, Subgluteal, Sciatic Nerve, Pediatric. |
