Implication

Delphi consensus study establishes standardized nomenclature and anatomical descriptions for limb nerve blocks, indicating a unified framework to improve education, research, and patient care.

Key Points

To establish standardized names and anatomical descriptions for upper and lower limb peripheral nerve blocks through international expert agreement.
Conducted a three-round international Delphi consensus process, consisting of steering committee drafting, two rounds of anonymized voting, and a final virtual round-table discussion.
Engaged international collaborators across iterative voting stages (Round 1: N=94; Round 2: N=91; Round 3: N=65), defining strong consensus as ≥75% agreement and weak consensus as 50%–74% agreement.
Achieved strong consensus (≥75% agreement) on 38 names and 33 anatomical descriptions, alongside weak consensus (50%–74% agreement) for five anatomical descriptions.
Established a standard naming template defined by the target nerve's name combined with the precise anatomical location of the block.
