ABSTRACT

In recent decades, ultrasound in regional anesthesia has become indispensable, favoring more excellent safety, pain reduction, and less hospital stay. This change has influenced the academic anesthetic programs in the hospitals. This article aims to describe the different types of ultrasound-guided regional blocks performed by anesthesiology residents in different procedures, as well as the characteristics of the patients to whom they were applied over eight months at Hospital Angeles Mocel. It was a retrospective, descriptive study, expressed for qualitative variables in frequency and percentile. Of 661 anesthetic procedures, 29.1% involved regional anesthesia combined with general anesthesia or sedation, and 70.9% only general anesthesia. Of 193 patients, the median age was 45 (range 34-61), male gender was 51.6%, ASA I status 17.5%, ASA II 73.7%, ASA 8.2%, ASA IV 0.51%. The most applied regional block was adductor canal 7.2%, axillary 6.2%, bilateral transverse abdominal 5.6% and supraclavicular 5.1%. It is essential to include in teaching anesthesiology residents the skills, abilities, and knowledge necessary to obtain complete theoretical and practical competence in regional anesthesia.
