About

The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.

Full description

The purpose of this use is to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar plexus block application applied with in-plane and out-of-plane methods accompanied by Shamrock imaging.
