Can We Use ''Coin Sign'' Wiew To Predict Block Success After Sciatic Nerve Block Performance
Yavuz Gürkan, Çiğdem Nur OhtaroğluDepartment Of Anesthesiology And Reanimation, Kocaeli Üniversity, Kocaeli, TurkeyUltrasound guidance during peripheral nerve block is a revolutionary approach in clinical practice. For a successful block, local anesthetics(LA) should surround the nerve circumferentially. Circumferential distrubution of local anesthetic is discribed as ''coin sign'' view which may predict block success of sciatic nerve.
