Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Small branches of the posterior division of L2 and L3
Femoral Nerve Block
Femoral Nerve Block
Produces anesthesia to the anterior portion Upper leg Medial calf
Results in inability Abduct the leg Extend the lower leg
Adjunct for postoperative pain relief
Femoral Nerve Block Indications
Surgical procedures of the anterior thigh
Complete or partial analgesia to: Painful conditions of the upper leg Femoral shaft and neck fractures Knee surgery
Femoral Nerve Anatomy
1. Inguinal ligament
3. Femoral vein
4. Femoral artery
5. Femoral nerve
10. Adductor longus muscle
Femoral U/S Nerve BlockPatient position

Successful U/S Regional Anesthesia
Time management
Monitoring
Use 27g needle and pH adjusted local for skin wheels
Music....headphones for the patient
Use a Ultrasound machine
Successful U/S Regional Anesthesia
Needle selection
Small movements of the needle
Evaluate frequently and touch-up early
Identification of difficult landmarks
Successful U/S Regional Anesthesia
Use rabbits feet, rubbing stones, beads, and other totally ridiculous luck charms.
