Summary

To help determine if there is improved pain relief when a device that makes an arm muscle move (nerve stimulator) is used to place a needle in the area above the collarbone to prevent feeling of pain (anesthesia) of the upper arm.

Conditions

  • Other Biomechanical Lesions of Upper Extremity

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Local anesthetic block [0.35% marcaine]

In the absence of paresthesia and after negative aspiration, the 40 ml of local anesthetic block \[0.35% marcaine\] will be administered.

DEVICE

Braun DIG-R-C Stimuplex Blockade Monitor System

The blockade system will be initially set at 1 milliamp. As the proximity of the tip of the needle to the components of the brachial plexus becomes evident by ultrasound approximation and the stimulation pattern of the hand and wrist, the output of the system will be reduced to .3-.5 milliamps. With use of the Braun DIG-R-C Stimuplex Blockade Monitor System.
