CONTENT DESCRIPTION
This session will introduce you to two blocks that can be used to provide anesthesia to the stifle and areas distal on the pelvic limb. Saphenous nerve blocks and sciatic nerve blocks can be used to facilitate surgical procedures such as TPLO, TTA, extracapsular stabilization, tibial fracture repair, and other procedures involving the distal limb. Offering near-100% success rates, these blocks can be performed as an alternative to epidural anesthesia and are important for you to know how to perform if your caseload involves these types of surgical procedures. We will review the current literature and use our clinical and research experience to focus the discussion of relevant anatomy, drug selection, required equipment, what are the desired ultrasound images to obtain, and expected effects and contraindications.
