  "abstract": "Sciatic nerve block is usually used for lower limb surgery. The ultrasound-guided approach for popliteal sciatic nerve block facilitated its visualization, but recognition of the nerve and appropriate needle insertion for performing ultrasound-guided nerve blocks can be challenging for novice trainees. Ethically, a trainee should not be performing an invasive procedure on a patient until after considerable practice on a phantom.1 Ultrasound phantoms are widely used for ultrasound regional anesthesia practice. The development of phantoms allowed an easy training and a reproducible method that has been shown to improve trainees’ skills.2 It is though expensive and may not be affordable for low-income and middle-income countries.",
