Szanowni Państwo,
Dr Maria Chazapis z University College Hospital w Londynie zwraca się do Państwa z prośbą o pomoc. Prowadzi ona badanie ankietowe dotyczące lokalizacji końcówki igły, techniki jej prowadzenia oraz ilości środka miejscowo znieczulającego w najpowszechniejszych blokadach obwodowych.
Oto oryginalna treść jej wiadomości:
My name is Maria, and I'm a trainee anaesthetist in England, with a keen interest in regional anaesthesia! I would be so grateful if you could complete a unique survey I made (I made the website too!) looking at regional anaesthesia needle endpoints. I'm trying to get an international view on this, so if you could also forward it to other members of your department, I would be so grateful!
Here is the link:

Ultrasound guidance is rapidly becoming the gold standard for regional anaesthesia, facilitating nerve identification, observation of surrounding structures, improving block quality and decreasing doses of local anaesthetics.
With nerve stimulation, the appropriate muscle twitch was a predefined endpoint for acceptable needle positioning. With purely ultrasound-guided techniques, there are no predefined endpoints. Our aim is to survey current practice of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia; specifically, accepted needle tip endpoints for common blocks, using a bespoke website. Leave your email address at the end of the survey for a chance to win an i-Pad!
Please contact me with any questions.
Thank you for your participation!
Kindest thanks,
Dr Maria Chazapis
