A Case Report of Ultrasound Guided Stellate Ganglion Block for Peripheral Vascular Disease in Critical Care
Abstract
72 year old female patient was in critical care secondary to acute coronary syndrome and acute cerebovascular event. Secondary to patient’s significant blood pressure alterations, she was monitorized with radial artery cannulation for invasive blood pressure follow up. During the follow up patient’s right hand circulation deteriorated. In terms of this kind of acute ischemia; anticoagulants, vasodilators and sympathetic blockage are altenative treatment methods. As an example of upper extremity main sympathetic blockage; stellate ganglion block was performed with ultrasound guidance. In this case report we defined the beneficial effects of stellate ganglion block and complication protected effects of ultrasound in critical care.
