In this video, we demonstrate what we do to decrease the risk of wrongside nerve blocks. Wrongsite nerve blocks (WSNB) continue to be some of the most dreaded complications of nerve blocks. At NYSORA, we have adopted ultrasound probe covers that feature an easytoremove sticker that bears the message “STOP before you BLOCK”. The sticker presents an actual physical barrier to image acquisition that must be removed before the ultrasound can be used during the procedure. This serves as the ONE LAST reminder to perform the time out and assure 1) Correct patient 2) Correct procedure 3) Correct laterality
