In summary, after the initial attempt, the paramedian approach is associated with an increased success rate, compared with the midline approach, during the performance of CSA in elderly patients.
We conclude that having initially located and blocked the musculocutaneous nerve, subsequent injection on a radial response resulted in a slightly more reliable success rate than injection with an ulnar or median response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
