In this video, we provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on performing ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion blocks. While the indications are very broad, they’re likely most useful for emergency medicine physicians when treating refractory ventricular storm (ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation)), untreatable by typical methods.

We will show you a brief literature overview as well as a tutorial that covers everything from the basic anatomy and indications to the detailed technique and tips for success. 

What you’ll learn:

• The anatomy of the stellate ganglion 
• Indications for stellate ganglion blocks 
• Equipment and preparation 
• Ultrasound settings and probe placement 
• Step-by-step procedure demonstration 
• Tips for ensuring accuracy and safety 
• Post-procedure care and potential complications 

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your technique, this video will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to perform stellate ganglion blocks effectively. Don’t forget to subscribe for more educational content and updates
