Abstract

Ultrasound is a favourite tool of the anaesthetist, but is seldom used in neuraxial anaesthesia. This tutorial aims to enlighten the reader; show the evidence behind neuraxial ultrasound, and guide them through the process of performing ultrasound guided neuraxial blocks, so they may consider integrating it into their own practice.
