Use of a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope for intercostal nerve block

H Vaghadia and LC Jenkins
Department of Anaesthesia, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver General Hospital.

Two cases with rib injuries are reported where intercostal nerve block without rib palpation was safely and successfully performed on six separate occasions using a Doppler blood-flow detector ultrasound stethoscope. A third case studied by a radiologist using a pulsed Doppler flowmeter, determined the source of the Doppler signals as originating from the intercostal artery. The significance of these findings is discussed.
