Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks: what are the benefits?

abstract：:Male Wistar rats were injected epidurally or intrathecally with increasing doses of sufentanil or morphine in order to determine differences in potency, onset and duration of analgesia and supra-spinal side-effects. For sufentanil, only small differences in the lowest ED50-values for analgesia and supra-spinal side-ef...
