Describe the landmarks and procedures for infraclavicular block. for interscalene block - C.6. Describe the landmarks and procedures for nerve stimulator and ultrasound-guided interscalene block. for lumbar plexus block for popliteal nerve block - C.10. Why does a popliteal nerve block have a high failure rate if performed too proximal to the popliteal fossa when using a landmark/nerve stimulator technique? Describe how this can be avoided when using ultrasound-guided popliteal block. for sciatic nerve block for supraclavicular block for supraclavicular block - C.7. Describe the landmarks and procedures for supraclavicular block.
