History
• In 1930, efficacy of STGB was well established by White in USA and Leriche in Europe.
• In 1933, Labat and Greene reported that injection of 33.3% alcohol can produce satisfactory analgesia.
• In 1936, Putnam and Hompton first used phenol for neurolysis

Anatomy
• The stellate ganglion refers to the ganglion formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical and the first thoracic ganglion as they meet anterior to the vertebral body of C7.
• It is present in 80% of subjects. It usually lies on or above the neck of the first rib.
• Cervico thoracic sympathetic ganglion • The stellate ganglion is 2.5 cm x 1 cm x 0.5 cm
![Page 11: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Where is it ??
• Posterior Structures posterior to the ganglion include the longus colli muscle, anterior scalene muscle, vertebral artery, brachial plexus sheath and neck of the first rib
![Page 12: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Anterior The structures anterior to the ganglion include the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the sternocleidomastoid and the carotid sheath. The dome of the lung lies anterior and inferior to the ganglion.
MedialThe prevertebral fascia, vertebral body of C7, oesophagus and thoracic duct lie medially.

Technique – anterior paratracheal
• The patient is placed in the • supine position• neck slightly extended,• the head rotated slightly to the side opposite
the block, and• the jaw open
![Page 16: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Site of skin puncture
![Page 17: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Retraction of sternomastoid Technique • The point of needle puncture is
located between the trachea and the carotid sheath at the level of the cricoid cartilage
• The skin and subcutaneous tissue are pressed firmly onto the tubercle
• No pleura , less tissue
![Page 18: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Technique
• Needle touches C6 tubercle
• Withdraw 2 mm out of longus colli
• Inject to see no resistance – test dose
• Fluoroscopy spread above and below – slow
DRAPES DON’T COVER FACE
![Page 19: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Test dose
• Only 0.5 ml- vertebral artery - seizures• Then 3 ml for intravenous test dose • Then to give 8-10 ml –3 ml shots with
aspiration • The patient is placed in the sitting position for
better spread
![Page 20: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
USG guided SGB -In Plane Approach
• A 25-gauge, 1-inch long-bevel needle
• needle between the transducer and the trachea
• Penetrate prevertebral fascia
• Avoid trachea, C6,vessels • Inject 0.5 ml confirm longus
colli • Inject 5-8 ml
![Page 21: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
USG guided SGB
![Page 22: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
C7 approach
• difficult to palpate C7 tubercle• first palpate C6 tubercle and then should move
one finger breath downwards to palpate C7 tubercle.
• drug injected in the similar fashion.• The advantage of C7 anterior approach is that
lesser volume of drug required• radio frequency ablation may be done by this
approach.
![Page 23: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Posterior approach
• Think when anterior fails
• Chemical neurolysis - can be used
• Anomalous Kuntz nerves
![Page 24: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Posterior approach
• Patient prone position with a pillow under the chest under C-arm lateral border of T2 vertebral body is
identified • and 22gauge 9/12 cm. needle is introduced just
lateral to the vertebral body with a final needle tip position at antero-lateral aspect of the vertical body . The final position is confirmed by spread of radio opaque dye .
• After confirming the final position approximately 5ml. of neurolytic agent is injected .

Drugs
• 0.25 % bupivacaine – drug
• Steroids • Ketamine - additives
• Phenol/ alcohol
![Page 26: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tips• Application of routine monitors, SPO2, NIBP• patient's mouth slightly open decreases skin
tension and facilitates palpation of the landmarks.
• To avoid the risk for aspiration, the patient should avoid oral intake for 4 to 6 hours after the block and then resume with clear liquids as tolerated.

The onset of Horner's syndrome indicates a successful block.??
• combination of drooping of the eyelid (ptosis) • constriction of the pupil (miosis), • decreased sweating of the face (anhydrosis)• redness of the conjunctiva.• enophthalmos• It indicates a problem with the sympathetic
nervous system
![Page 28: Stellate ganglion block Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics. PhD (physio) Mahatma Gandhi Medical college](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e245503460f94b1332b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• relative increase in skin temperature after stellate ganglion block is predictive of a complete sympathectomy of the hand > 1.5 0 c
• CT-guided technique, • a more effective sympathetic block
substantially reduced volume of anesthetic.
