Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia simulation: use of meat glue in inexpensive and realistic nerve block models

Abstract

We have developed inexpensive and easily reproducible models that create the realistic appearance of tissues, nerves, and fascial planes under ultrasound. They can also accurately simulate hydrodissection of fluid in fascial planes. We hope these nerve block models will allow for the education in UGRA to be more widespread and accessible to learners from all specialties.
