AbstractAlthough the use of peripheral nerve stimulators and unsheathed needles in performing nerve blocks has been previously described, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of specific, expensive equipment to ensure success. The availability of equipment designed for use in peripheral nerve blocks, insulated needles and nerve stimulators, will help promote the use of these techniques, but the expense of purchasing this specialized equipment may contribute to a decline in performance of certain types of blocks. This article reviews the use of standard equipment, available in most anesthesia departments, for performing peripheral nerve blocks successfully.
