Electrodiagnostic testing can be both uncomfortable for the patient and inconclusive. Ultrasound can serve as a complement to clinical assessment, electrodiagnostic testing, and other imaging modalities. This study describes a systematic approach for performing neuromuscular ultrasound for suspected pathology in the brachial plexus. The literature regarding techniques for brachial plexus ultrasound was reviewed. A team composed of specialists in neurology, physiatry, anesthesiology, orthopedic surgery, and vascular surgery used this as the basis for describing standardized techniques for performing brachial plexus ultrasound. Four standard views, along with other supplemental views, are described for the evaluation of the brachial plexus. An illustrative case is presented. Ultrasound is a high\u2010resolution point of care diagnostic tool that allows assessment of structural pathology affecting the brachial plexus. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>58<\/jats:bold>: 618\u2013624, 2018<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.26144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,19]],"date-time":"2018-04-19T20:11:17Z","timestamp":1524168677000},"page":"618-624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Neuromuscular ultrasound of the brachial plexus: A standardized approach"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Baute","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA 27157"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey A.","family":"Strakowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation The Ohio State University and Riverside Methodist Hospital Columbus Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jon W.","family":"Reynolds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristopher R.","family":"Karvelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Ehlers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA 27157"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin J.","family":"Brenzy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA 27157"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongyu J.","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael S.","family":"Cartwright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Wake Forest School of Medicine Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA 27157"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200510000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics7020037"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2004.09.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diii.2014.01.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24884"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000001713"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.25536"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2016.04.039"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp; Nerve"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmus.26144","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mus.26144","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,10]],"date-time":"2023-09-10T04:42:15Z","timestamp":1694320935000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mus.26144"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mus.26144"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mus.26144","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0148-639X","1097-4598"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0148-639X","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-4598","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2017-11-06","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2018-04-12","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2018-06-15","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
