Abstract:
The ultrasound in regional anesthesia is gaining currency. Of fundamental importance for a successful blockade is not only the direct process. Many decisions taken in advance, have enormous impact on the quality of implementation. The aim of this article is about the current state of knowledge on implementing instructions of the risk stratification, hygiene, choice of the needle, the training and the sequence concerning ultrasound regional anesthesia. There are pitfalls and presented important conditions for successful work with this method.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
