Periarterial Injection Versus Multiple Periveural Injection
- Conditions
- Crush Injury Wrist or HandContusion Wrist or Hand
- Registration Number
- NCT02429141
- Lead Sponsor
- North American Institute for Continuing Medical Education (NAICE)
- Brief Summary
In the transarterial technique for axillary brachial plexus block, the axillary artery is intentionally punctured to indicate placement of the needle within the neurovascular sheath; local anesthetic is then injected deep and superficial to the axillary artery.
- Detailed Description
To lessen the risk for hematoma and intravascular injection, several modifications, such as the multi-injection perineural technique, have become popular. These techniques require a high degree of technical skill and multiple needle passes, and also carry potential for injury. In this study, the investigators will compare an ultrasound-guided equivalent of the transarterial technique (periarterial injections) to a commonly used multi-injection perineural technique.
