Needle tip tracking for ultrasound‐guided peripheral nerve block procedures—An observer blinded randomised controlled crossover study on a phantom model

摘要

BackgroundThe Onvision needle tip tracking (NTT) is a new technology consisting of a needle with an ultrasound sensor close to the needle tip and a console for computerised signal processing. The aim of the study was to evaluate NTT technology during ultrasound‐guided simulated peripheral nerve block procedures in a porcine phantom model.
