Perineural injections, anatomical structures, ultrasoundAbstract
Perineural anesthetic injections are often used to assist in the identification of potentially painful sites and, consequently, lameness in horses. In this sense, detailed anatomical knowledge of neural structures is important for the correct and efficient performance of perineural blocks in the limbs of horses, generating no doubts in their interpretations. For this, ultrasonography becomes an important tool in the learning process, in addition to pointing out the best way to perform the procedure. This review aims to present the factors that interfere with the performance of perineural injections and how ultrasound can be useful in the learning process can assist in the execution of these procedures.
