Overview

This article aims to select recently published regional anesthesia articles, especially those with the highest impact on common clinical practice in our country. We present the most recent recommendations for anatomical structures to identify on ultrasound for the performance of intermediate and advanced blocks in ultrasound-guided regional an esthesia in addition to the results of big data trials and other interesting articles. We believe that the outcomes of this consensus can offer support for the standardization of education in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
