Peripheral nerve blocks have become a gold standard for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in limb and girdle surgeries due to the feeling of security, the simplicity of locoregional anesthesia, the absence of certain adverse effects when general anesthesia and especially in the quality of postoperative analgesia. However, locoregional anesthesia has a certain risk.We present two case reports of peripheral neuropathy after locoregional anesthesia involving the lumbar plexus and median nerve.We discuss through literature review, pathophysiology mechanisms, risk factors, management and prognosis of nerve injury during locoregional anesthesia.

Advancements in Ultrasonography has increased the interest among anesthesiologists to learn regional anesthesia techniques specially the peripheral nerve blocks. But it takes a long learning curve to become an expert in ultrasound guided regional aneaesthesia techniques. The training models like blue phantom is expensive and not freely available. Other commercially available phantom models like gelatin based phantom and agar based phantoms though cheap has less shelf life .We devised a novel and cost effective learning phantom using Igel for needling training. Further studies are required for comparing the quality of Igel based phantoms with commercially available phantoms like blue phantom. Keywords: Ultrasonography; Igel; Phantom.
