Introduction to Basic UGRA (Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia)

Basic UGRA (Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia) consists of easily learned and safe peripheral nerve blocks allowing effective perioperative analgesia for the majority of surgical procedures involving the upper and lower limbs and the anterolateral abdominal wall

The basic nerve blocks are exclusively performed as single shot injections using the in-plane needle approach to the target nerve
