Use of the peripheral nerve stimulator.
The author discusses various procedures for assessing the patient's degree of muscle relaxation utilizing a peripheral nerve stimulator. Based on clinical observation, a preferred method is offered. To obtain the relaxation necessary for certain surgical procedures, the usual technique is to administer a pre-calculated dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant. The most common method to calculat...
متن کاملChallenges of Peripheral Nerve Stimulator Implantation in a Patient with New Onset Thrombocytopenia
Interventional procedures in the setting of multimodal practice are an often used treatment approach to chronic pain. Advanced technologies such as neuromodulation by way of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a promising frontier. Patients offered this technique have often failed conservative management, a series of injections and are not favorable candidates for pursuing spinal cord stimula...
متن کاملTibial nerve stimulation with a miniature, wireless stimulator in chronic peripheral neuropathic pain
Peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can be effectively treated with peripheral nerve stimulation. In this clinical trial report, effectiveness of novel, miniature, wirelessly controlled microstimulator of tibial nerve in PNP and CRPS was evaluated. In this pilot study the average preoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score in six patients was 7.5, with 1...
متن کامل3T MRI of patients with a vagus nerve stimulator: Initial experience under controlled conditions
Introduction: 1.5T brain MRI of patients who have an implanted vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) is generally recognized as a safe procedure, provided that a transmit/receive (T/R) head coil is used and all of the recommended limits (in particular, SAR) are followed. For some applications, however, such as high-resolution brain imaging for pre-surgical planning in patients with epilepsy, the use of ...
متن کامل[Peripheral nerve stimulator for femoral nerve block. Is it really necessary?].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are several methods to locate the femoral nerve in the perivascular inguinal space, being the most common the use of a peripheral nerve stimulator. This study aimed at evaluating femoral nerve block performed with peripheral nerve stimulator as compared to the loss of resistance to air technique, both by single injection or with catheter insertion. METHODS Sixt...
