The brachial plexus at the interscalene level is seen lateral to the carotid artery, between the anterior and middle scalene muscles (Figures 2, 3, and 4). Prevertebral fascia, superficial cervical plexus and sternocleidomastoid muscle are seen superficial to the plexus.he goal of the continuous interscalene block is similar to the non-ultrasound-based techniques: to place the catheter in the vicinity of the trunks of the brachial plexus between the scalene muscles.
A colonoscopy is similar to a sigmoidoscopy, but a longer flexible viewing tube called a colonoscope is used to examine the entire colon and (if necessary) the lower portion of the small intestine. It is typically performed to detect colorectal cancer and to determine the causes of rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, or abdominal pain.
What is a colonoscopy? A colonoscopy is an exam that a doctor performs to visually examine the inside of your colon. Colonoscopies are considered the gold standard for detecting abnormalities within the colon. The simple answer is that getting a colonoscopy can save your life.
