Summary

The study will investigate the difference in success rate between popliteal peripheral nerve catheters placed at 1 centimeter compared to 5 centimeters past the tip of a Tuohy needle.

Conditions

  • Neuromuscular Inhibition

Interventions

PROCEDURE

1 cm

A Tuohy needle will be advanced in-plane with the bevel cephalad to a point that lies between the tibial and common peroneal branches of the sciatic nerve. The catheter will be advanced 1 cm past the tip of the Tuohy

PROCEDURE

5 cm

A Tuohy needle will be advanced in-plane with the bevel cephalad to a point that lies between the tibial and common peroneal branches of the sciatic nerve. The catheter will be advanced 5 cm past the tip of the Tuohy
