Variations with In-Plane needling

Needling Along Visual Axis is better
Novice Learner In-Plane Ultrasound Imaging
Which Visualization Technique?
Melanie Speer, MBChB, FANZCA* Neil McLennan, MBChB, FANZCA† and Chris Nixon, MBChB*†
Background and Objectives: Needle guidance under ultrasound is
an acquired skill requiring fine motor control. Maintaining the image of
an advancing needle in the plane of an ultrasound beam may be per-
formed with the probe and needle orientated along the visual axis
(AL) or across the visual axis (AC). This study was undertaken to deter-
mine if orientation affected task performance.
Methods: Twenty-four relative novices were tasked to perform guided
punctures to a target in a pork phantom using each technique 5 times.
The technique first used was randomly chosen from a sealed envelope.
The time taken to guide the needle to target and the accuracy of needle
imaging were recorded.
Results: The mean time to locate the target was significantly faster for
the AL technique, compared with the AC technique (group AL, 35.7, vs
group AC, 58.6 seconds; P < 0.0001, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed
rank test). The mean imaging quality score was also significantly better
when needle advancement was along the visual axis (group AL, 1.37, vs
group AC, 1.64; P = 0.05).
Conclusions: Advancing the needle along the visual axis was associ-
ated with improved task completion speed and quality of needle imag-
ing. This ergonomic pattern, therefore, may be the more appropriate
choice for novices learning ultrasound-guided in-plane needle imaging.
(Reg Anesth Pain Med 2013;38: 350–352)
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is widely used for
achieving reliable peripheral nerve blockade with or with-
out nerve stimulation. A block needle may approach a target
from a position perpendicular to the ultrasound beam or parallel
to the ultrasound beam, referred to as “out of plane” and “in
plane,” respectively. The in-plane approach has the advantage
of enabling the user to see the needle shaft and tip as it is di-
rected toward a target but requires skill and may result in a false
The aim of this study was to assess any potential advan-
tage in terms of accuracy or speed to novices performing an
in-plane needle imaging task using these 2 techniques.
METHODS
Ethics approval for this study was obtained from the Northern
X Regional Ethics Committee (NTX/10/EXP/145) in Auckland,
New Zealand.
Medical students and first-year residents in the Department
of Anesthesia were invited to participate in the study. After ob-
taining written informed consent, each subject completed a brief
questionnaire detailing previous ultrasound experience. Those
whose experience was greater than 10 nerve blocks were excluded
from study. Experience of ultrasound-guided vascular access was
not regarded as an exclusion criterion because this is performed
using an out-of-plane technique in our hospital.
Each participant watched an educational presentation (Power-
Point; Microsoft Corp, Redmond, Washington) detailing the study
method and objectives immediately after testing. This included a
brief introduction to ultrasound, a video demonstrating the task re-
quired, and specific instructions to advance the needle only when
the tip was visualized. This standardized the instructions given to
all subjects, reducing instruction bias.
A simulated peripheral nerve block was created using a por-
cine phantom.6
An 18-gauge Tuohy needle (Perican; B. Braun,
Melsungen AG, Germany) embedded in the phantom acted as a
target. It was positioned at a depth of 1 to 3 cm below the surface
of the phantom and imaged in cross-section. The position within
the phantom was changed between subjects to avoid needle tracks
left after previous attempts. A short bevel nonechogenic spinal
needle (Pencan 20 g; B.Braun) was used to approach the target.
ULTRASOUND ARTICLE
was contacted and the buzzer sounded. A 30-second retrospec-
tive video clip of each attempt was recorded immediately after
the buzzer sounded. The video clips were later analyzed for
the quality of needle imaging using a 4-point scoring system
(Table 1) modified from Sites et al.6
Each video clip was scored
independently by 3 investigators, blinded to the technique used
and the subject’s experience.

The preferred technique was analyzed using Fisher exact test.
RESULTS
Twenty-four novice ultrasound users were recruited for the
study. Thirteen were medical students, and 11 were first-yea
residents. The 13 medical students had never used ultrasound
previously. All residents had previous ultrasound experience
5 for vascular access only, and 6 had previously performed
ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Of these 6 participants, 2 had
performed 1 to 5 ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and 4 had per
formed 6 to 10 blocks.
the remaining 234 were analyzed for needle imaging qu
Each clip was given a score from 0 to 3 with a score of 0 r
senting excellent needle imaging, whereas a score of 3
poor. The mean quality score was 1.64 for the AC techn
compared with 1.37 for the AL technique (P = 0.05, Wilc
matched-pairs signed rank).
Each participant was asked which technique they
ferred. Overall, 6 (25%) of the 24 participants preferred techn
AC, and 18 (75%) preferred technique AL. The preferred
nique was not statistically correlated with the technique
formed first (Fisher exact test, P = 0.64).
DISCUSSION
This study demonstrates an improved ability of novic
guide a needle to a target in a pork phantom when the
sound probe and needle were orientated along the visual
This complements a previous ergonomic study by Lan
et al,7
which demonstrated that the position of the ultras
monitor affected the speed and accuracy of ultrasound-gu
needle placement. Poor ergonomics was identified by
et al6
as a key error made by anesthesia residents perfor
ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. This was defined as an arc
torso, nondominant hand holding the needle, or head tu
45 degrees or greater (as estimated by the reviewers). Poor
nomics occurred 31 times and resulted in unintentional p
movement in 70% of cases. A total of 398 errors were
in 520 ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, of which the most
mon was advancing the needle while the tip was not visua
(174 cases, 44%). In our study, of the 234 procedures anal
only 69 (29%) received a score of 0, indicating ideal ima
of the needle tip and shaft. In the remaining 165 (71%),
movement of the needle occurred without the needle an
being fully imaged.

Summary
We systematically reviewed peripheral nerve blockade guided by ultrasound versus electrical stimulation. We
included 26 comparisons in 23 randomised controlled trials of 2125 participants. Ultrasound reduced the rate of pain
during the procedure, relative risk (95% CI) 0.60 (0.41–0.89), p = 0.01. Ultrasound with or without electrical stimula-
tion reduced the rate of analgesic or anaesthetic rescue versus electrical stimulation alone, relative risk (95% CI) 0.40
(0.29–0.54) and 0.29 (0.16–0.52), respectively, p < 0.0001 for both. The rate of rescue was unaffected by the addition
of electrical stimulation to ultrasound, relative risk (95% CI) 1.07 (0.54–2.10), p = 0.85. Ultrasound, with or without
electrical stimulation, reduced the pooled rate of vascular puncture, relative risk (95% CI) 0.23 (0.15–0.37),
p < 0.0001. There was no difference in the rate of postoperative neurological side-effects, relative risk (95% CI) 0.76
(0.53–1.09), p = 0.13.

Abstract Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA)
requires an advanced procedural skill set that incorporates
both sonographic knowledge of relevant anatomy as well
as technical proficiency in needle manipulation in order
to achieve a successful outcome. Understanding how to
differentiate a novice from an expert in UGRA using a
quantifiable tool may be useful for comparing educational
interventions that could improve the rate at which one
develops expertise. Exploring the gaze pattern of individu-
als performing a task has been used to evaluate expertise in
many different disciplines, including medicine. However,
the use of eye-tracking technology has not been previously

Melanie Speer, MBChB, FANZCA* Neil McLennan, MBChB, FANZCA† and Chris Nixon, MBChB*† Background and Objectives: Needle guidance under ultrasound is an acquired skill requiring fine motor control. Maintaining the image of an advancing needle in the plane of an ultrasound beam may be per- formed with the probe and needle orientated along the visual axis (AL) or across the visual axis (AC). This study was undertaken to deter- mine if orientation affected task performance. Methods: Twenty-four relative novices were tasked to perform guided punctures to a target in a pork phantom using each technique 5 times. The technique first used was randomly chosen from a sealed envelope. The time taken to guide the needle to target and the accuracy of needle imaging were recorded. Results: The mean time to locate the target was significantly faster for the AL technique, compared with the AC technique (group AL, 35.7, vs group AC, 58.6 seconds; P < 0.0001, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test). The mean imaging quality score was also significantly better when needle advancement was along the visual axis (group AL, 1.37, vs group AC, 1.64; P = 0.05). Conclusions: Advancing the needle along the visual axis was associ- ated with improved task completion speed and quality of needle imag- ing. This ergonomic pattern, therefore, may be the more appropriate choice for novices learning ultrasound-guided in-plane needle imaging. (Reg Anesth Pain Med 2013;38: 350–352) Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is widely used for achieving reliable peripheral nerve blockade with or with- out nerve stimulation. A block needle may approach a target from a position perpendicular to the ultrasound beam or parallel to the ultrasound beam, referred to as “out of plane” and “in plane,” respectively. The in-plane approach has the advantage of enabling the user to see the needle shaft and tip as it is di- rected toward a target but requires skill and may result in a false The aim of this study was to assess any potential advan- tage in terms of accuracy or speed to novices performing an in-plane needle imaging task using these 2 techniques. METHODS Ethics approval for this study was obtained from the Northern X Regional Ethics Committee (NTX/10/EXP/145) in Auckland, New Zealand. Medical students and first-year residents in the Department of Anesthesia were invited to participate in the study. After ob- taining written informed consent, each subject completed a brief questionnaire detailing previous ultrasound experience. Those whose experience was greater than 10 nerve blocks were excluded from study. Experience of ultrasound-guided vascular access was not regarded as an exclusion criterion because this is performed using an out-of-plane technique in our hospital. Each participant watched an educational presentation (Power- Point; Microsoft Corp, Redmond, Washington) detailing the study method and objectives immediately after testing. This included a brief introduction to ultrasound, a video demonstrating the task re- quired, and specific instructions to advance the needle only when the tip was visualized. This standardized the instructions given to all subjects, reducing instruction bias. A simulated peripheral nerve block was created using a por- cine phantom.6 An 18-gauge Tuohy needle (Perican; B. Braun, Melsungen AG, Germany) embedded in the phantom acted as a target. It was positioned at a depth of 1 to 3 cm below the surface of the phantom and imaged in cross-section. The position within the phantom was changed between subjects to avoid needle tracks left after previous attempts. A short bevel nonechogenic spinal needle (Pencan 20 g; B.Braun) was used to approach the target. ULTRASOUND ARTICLE was contacted and the buzzer sounded. A 30-second retrospec- tive video clip of each attempt was recorded immediately after the buzzer sounded. The video clips were later analyzed for the quality of needle imaging using a 4-point scoring system (Table 1) modified from Sites et al.6 Each video clip was scored independently by 3 investigators, blinded to the technique used and the subject’s experience.

RESULTS Twenty-four novice ultrasound users were recruited for the study. Thirteen were medical students, and 11 were first-yea residents. The 13 medical students had never used ultrasound previously. All residents had previous ultrasound experience 5 for vascular access only, and 6 had previously performed ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Of these 6 participants, 2 had performed 1 to 5 ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and 4 had per formed 6 to 10 blocks. the remaining 234 were analyzed for needle imaging qu Each clip was given a score from 0 to 3 with a score of 0 r senting excellent needle imaging, whereas a score of 3 poor. The mean quality score was 1.64 for the AC techn compared with 1.37 for the AL technique (P = 0.05, Wilc matched-pairs signed rank). Each participant was asked which technique they ferred. Overall, 6 (25%) of the 24 participants preferred techn AC, and 18 (75%) preferred technique AL. The preferred nique was not statistically correlated with the technique formed first (Fisher exact test, P = 0.64). DISCUSSION This study demonstrates an improved ability of novic guide a needle to a target in a pork phantom when the sound probe and needle were orientated along the visual This complements a previous ergonomic study by Lan et al,7 which demonstrated that the position of the ultras monitor affected the speed and accuracy of ultrasound-gu needle placement. Poor ergonomics was identified by et al6 as a key error made by anesthesia residents perfor ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. This was defined as an arc torso, nondominant hand holding the needle, or head tu 45 degrees or greater (as estimated by the reviewers). Poor nomics occurred 31 times and resulted in unintentional p movement in 70% of cases. A total of 398 errors were in 520 ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, of which the most mon was advancing the needle while the tip was not visua (174 cases, 44%). In our study, of the 234 procedures anal only 69 (29%) received a score of 0, indicating ideal ima of the needle tip and shaft. In the remaining 165 (71%), movement of the needle occurred without the needle an being fully imaged. FIGURE 1. Orientation of monitor screen, ultrasound probe, needle and operator.

We included 26 comparisons in 23 randomised controlled trials of 2125 participants. Ultrasound reduced the rate of pain during the procedure, relative risk (95% CI) 0.60 (0.41–0.89), p = 0.01. Ultrasound with or without electrical stimula- tion reduced the rate of analgesic or anaesthetic rescue versus electrical stimulation alone, relative risk (95% CI) 0.40 (0.29–0.54) and 0.29 (0.16–0.52), respectively, p < 0.0001 for both. The rate of rescue was unaffected by the addition of electrical stimulation to ultrasound, relative risk (95% CI) 1.07 (0.54–2.10), p = 0.85. Ultrasound, with or without electrical stimulation, reduced the pooled rate of vascular puncture, relative risk (95% CI) 0.23 (0.15–0.37), p < 0.0001. There was no difference in the rate of postoperative neurological side-effects, relative risk (95% CI) 0.76 (0.53–1.09), p = 0.13. .................................................................................................................................................................
