The Femoral Nerve Block

EM Curious

Maybe it's dislocated? Identify the triangle shaped femoral nerve, lateral to the femoral artery, as well as the iliopsoas muscle and the fascia illiaca running over its surface. Get your tip as close as possible to the nerve, and under the fascia illiaca, then inject (well, after aspirating first, of course). doi:10.1111/j.1742-6723.2009.01163.xdoi:10.1097/PEC.0000000000000101
