Ultrasound images showing common and split femoral artery
Ultrasound images showing common and split femoral artery
Femoral nerve block should be performed at a point where a
single, common femoral artery is visualized. If the deep and superficial
branches of the femoral artery are both visualized, the transducer should be
moved cephalad until those branches coalesce into a single structure. For
further information refer to UpToDate content on performing femoral nerve
block.
