Fig 1. Patient positioning for SCNRB on the left side. A, The chin is rotated approximately 30° to the right, away from the side to be studied. To prevent sudden movements during needle placement/manipulation, we used 11/4-inch paper adhesive tape. B, Note how the patient's neck is rotated and slightly extended. C, A metal clamp is used to help identify the optimal axis of fluoroscopy.
