2018年9月15日 · Pecs and serratus plane nerve blocks are newer US-guided nerve blocks for analgesia after breast and lateral thoracic wall surgery. The key sonographic landmarks are the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, and serratus anterior muscles and the pectoral branch of the acromiothoracic artery.

2018年9月15日 · Features anatomical relationships, sensory block and technique description to perform an ultrasound-guided pectoralis I-II and serratus plane blocks.

The Pecs I block is a single injection of local anaesthetic between pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles at the level of the 3 rd rib to anaesthetise the lateral and medial pectoral nerves (LPN and MPN).

The pectoralis (PECS) block and serratus plane block are regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia for the chest wall, particularly for breast or thoracic surgery. The nerve supply to the chest wall is complex, with the thoracic intercostal nerves providing most …

2022年5月2日 · The PEC II block (which also includes a PEC I block) is an extension that involves a second injection lateral to the PEC I injection point in the plane between the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior muscles to block the upper intercostal nerves, often …

For axillary anesthesia and breast anesthesia, a PECS block is needed. For chest tube placement, serratus may be sufficient. Emergency Case: Injection over the serratus in a patient with 4-5-6 rib fractures.

Pecs blocks are a useful addition to analgesia for chest wall surgery, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures such as paravertebral blockade. Serratus plane or supraclavicular nerve blocks may also be needed for complete analgesia.

A Pectoralis Nerve Block, specifically a Pecs I or Pecs II block, is a procedure that involves injecting local anesthetic between certain chest muscles to achieve numbness in the area. The Pecs I block blocks the signals to the medial and lateral pectoral nerves, while the Pecs II block also numbs other nerves in a larger area.

2020年3月1日 · The pectoral plane nerve block—PECS II is simply a PEC I block with additional injection of local anesthetic between the pectoralis major muscle and the serratus anterior muscle.

2018年12月29日 · Figure showing the anatomical structures that are relevant for thoracic interfascial nerve blocks at the medial infraclavicular fossa (ie, between the inferior border of the clavicle and the medial border of the pectoralis minor muscle).
