Nerve injury by needle nerve perforation in regional anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND In regional anaesthesia, there is a risk of direct nerve injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the diameter of the applied needle is associated with the magnitude of nerve injury after needle nerve perforation. METHODS In five anaesthetized pigs, the brachial plexus were exposed bilaterally. Up to eight nerves underwent needle nerve perforation using a 24 G pen...
متن کاملREGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Complications of peripheral nerve blocks
Key points † Serious complications of peripheral nerve blocks include nerve injury, catheter infection, bleeding, and LAST. † Intraneural injection occurs frequently with nerve stimulator or ultrasound-guided techniques. It is rarely associated with nerve injury. † Lipid emulsion therapy is effective in treating severe LAST. Summary Complications of peripheral nerve blocks are fortunately rare,...
متن کاملMental nerve injury following general anaesthesia.
EDITOR: A healthy 31-yr-old female with no previous medical history was scheduled for gynaecologic laparoscopy for primary sterility under general anaesthesia. Routine preoperative investigations were unremarkable. The patient was premedicated with 1 mg kg of hydroxyzine (Atarax) administered orally one hour before the induction of anaesthesia. General anaesthesia was induced with 1mg kg of fen...
متن کاملMotor nerve conduction in intravenous regional anaesthesia with bupivacaine hydrochloride.
Motor nerve conduction (MNC) from proximal and distal points of the median and ulnar nerve was examined in 14 patients receiving a total of 29 i.v. regional anaesthetics (IRA) with bupivacaine hydrochloride in doses ranging from 100 to 300 mg. Conduction was tested during and following vascular obstruction, until MNC returned to pre-IRA value. After 20 min of obstruction, MNC was unobtainable i...
متن کاملREGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Comparison of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and ultrasound imaging for nerve localization†
Key points † Percutaneous nerve stimulation is a recently introduced technique to facilitate peripheral nerve block. † We evaluated the ability of this technique to localize nerves of the brachial plexus as verified by ultrasound imaging in 20 volunteers. † There was only a 10% concordance between the most superficial nerves identified by percutaneous stimulation and ultrasound imaging. Backgro...
