A preliminary assessment of the ability of anesthesiologists to purposefully perform intra- or perineural injection of local anesthetic for sciatic nerve block
Abstract:Intraneural injection of local anesthetic (LA) during peripheral nerve block performance has been found to be a rather common occurrence. We examined some of the variables recorded in an ongoing trial of intraneural vs. perineural injection of LA for sciatic nerve block.
Patients were randomly assigned to intra‐ or perineural injection of LA. Ultrasound images were evaluated by attending anesthesiologists and an independent investigator. Expansion of sciatic nerve diameters was measured as a ratio of post‐inje… Show more
