The Relationship Between Needle Position and Injection Pressure During Femoral Nerve Block

NCT02451813 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2016-04-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent evidence suggests that injection pressure monitoring may be able to predict needle nerve contact in the brachial plexus nerve block model, but little is known about multifascicular nerves. The investigators hypothesize that injection pressure monitoring can reliably predict needle-nerve contact during femoral nerve block.

Conditions

  • Orthopedic Disorders

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Apposition of needle bevel against femoral nerve

Indentation of femoral nerve and fascia iliaca by block needle and measurement of opening injection pressure during the controlled injection of 1 ml of dextrose (D5W) solution
