Ultrasound‐guided femoral and sciatic nerve block as an option for below‐knee amputation in an elderly patient: A case report
Abstract Peripheral nerve blocks can be a very safe option in elderlypatients with multiple comorbidities where spinal or general anesthesia may be associated with increased risks. We present a 67 years male taking antiplatelet drugs with deranged coagulation profile with bilateral pneumonia with di...

| description | Abstract Peripheral nerve blocks can be a very safe option in elderlypatients with multiple comorbidities where spinal or general anesthesia may be associated with increased risks. We present a 67 years male taking antiplatelet drugs with deranged coagulation profile with bilateral pneumonia with diabetic foot with wet gangrene planned for emergency below knee amputation under ultrasound guided femoral and sciatic nerve block. |
