The ultrasound approach to SGB is feasible in emergency setting, and it is safe and effective also using a modified and easier technique in patient with difficult sonographic visualization of the neck structures. Moreover, it is possible and safe to use a combination of short-acting rapid-onset local anaesthetic with a long-lasting one with a good outcome.
