A. False. A short bevelled needle is preferable as it provides a better feel of the tissue planes.
B. False. Gloves should be worn for all blocks.
C. True. Remember that in half the population the external oblique will be an aponeurosis already and, therefore, its ‘pop’ is easily lost when the needle passes through the skin. A second ‘pop’ in these circumstances places the needle intraperitoneally.
D. False. A long-acting LA is chosen to provide longer postoperative analgesia.
E. False. The line is drawn from the ASIS to the umbilicus.
