Comparison of three ultrasound guided approaches to the lumbar plexus in dogs: a cadaveric study
Conclusion and clinical relevanceAn ultrasound‐guided lateral paravertebral approach to the LP proved very practical and accurate, with easy visualization of the plexus and associated nerves. To ensure that the ON is covered by injectate, an approach at the level of L7 is recommended. Further studies are necessary to determine if this correlates with clinically effective local anesthesia.
