Peripheral nerve injuries during cardiac surgery: risk factors, diagnosis, prognosis, and prevention.
Neuropathies involving the brachial plexus, phrenic, recurrent laryngeal, and saphenous nerves, as well as the sympathetic chain are complications of cardiac surgery. The reported frequency of nerve injuries varies from 1.5% to 24% for the brachial plexus and 10% to 60",,6 for the phrenic nerve (1-5).

Current best evidence supports observation for peripheral nerve palsies following a fracture of the humerus unless associated with an open fracture. However, the indications for nerve exploration with humerus gunshot fractures are unclear.

When peripheral nerve injuries occur, patients may experience numbness, burning, or tingling and may ...
متن کاملEffect of PACAP in Central and Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a bioactive peptide with diverse effects in the nervous system. In addition to its more classic role as a neuromodulator, PACAP functions as a neurotrophic factor. Several neurotrophic factors have been shown to play an important role in the endogenous response following both cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury and to be eff...

Peripheral nerve disorders are difficult to manage. In the surgical treatment of patients with peripheral nerve pathology, there are a multitude of factors that may alter the outcome of the patient's recovery and lead to incomplete recovery or possibly worsening of symptoms. The anatomy and function of the peripheral nerve is unique and the evaluation and management of these disorders must be a...
