TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Electrical Nerve Stimulators and Localization of Peripheral Nerves A1 - Zundert, André van A1 - Hadzic, Admir A2 - Hadzic, Admir PY - 2017 T2 - Hadzic's Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management, 2e AB - Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), an important tool to aid administration of peripheral nerve blocks. Improvements in electrical nerve localization technology have led to a number of commercially available nerve stimulators that are superior and more advanced compared to older devices. With the introduction of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, however, there has been confusion on the role of nerve stimulation in the setting of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. This review focuses on the foundation of nerve stimulation with a short historical background, the latest developments in the technology, and the role of nerve stimulation with ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks.
