AB  - As  in  other  areas  of  medicine,  anesthesiologists  increasingly  rely  on  more  sophisticated  equipment  in  regional  anesthesia.  The  advanced  technology  used  to  accomplish  and  increase  the  success  rate  of  regional  anesthesia  techniques  requires  thorough  understanding  of  the  equipment.  One  of  the  most  important  advances  in  regional  anesthesia  was  the  introduction  of  the  portable  peripheral  nerve  stimulator  in  the  late  1970s  and  early  1980s.1  Since  that  time,  many  improvements  in  nerve  stimulators  were  made,  as  well  as  to  the  needle  and  catheter  designs.  Over  the  last  decade,  ultrasound  also  developed  into  a  promising  method  for  nerve  localization.1–3  As  technology  continues  to  evolve,  it  will  likely  assume  a  more  significant  role  in  regional  anesthesia.  Nevertheless,  the  performance  of  regional  anesthesia  techniques  still  requires  proper  set-up,  careful  preparation,  detailed  planning,  and  continuous  monitoring  to  provide  safe  and  effective  patient  care.
