Single-Stimulation, Low-Volume Infraclavicular Plexus Block: Influence of the Evoked Distal Motor Response on Success Rate
We compared the success rate of single-injection infraclavicular plexus block by using electrically evoked radial, ulnar, or median nerve–type distal motor response to guide the injection of local anesthetic. Consecutive patients requiring surgery distal to the upper arm were prospectively included...

Zusammenfassung: | We compared the success rate of single-injection infraclavicular plexus block by using electrically evoked radial, ulnar, or median nerve–type distal motor response to guide the injection of local anesthetic.
Consecutive patients requiring surgery distal to the upper arm were prospectively included in this study over a 6-month period. No search for predetermined distal motor responses was performed. The first qualifying distal motor response evoked for a stimulating current intensity of |
