Peripheral Nerve Injury due to Injection Needles used for Regional Anesthesia: An Experimental Study of the Acute Effects of Needle Point Trauma
Abstract
Nerve injury can arise as a complication of peripheral nerve block anesthesia. Of the various factors involved, the trauma caused by the injection needle may be of significance. In this experimental study the frequency of fascicular injury was investigated immediately after needling isolated rabbit sciatic nerve preparations, and after intraneural injection with the nerve in situ. Two different injection needles were used, one with a bevel angle of 14° and the other with a 45° bevel angle. Fascicular injury was indicated by a fluorescence microscopy technique, tracing locally applied Evans Blue Albumin. The results show that a 45°‐beveled needle less frequently produces fascicular damage and should therefore be recommended for use in clinical anesthesia. It is also concluded that paresthesiae, when necessary, should be elicited gently, and that intraneural injections should be avoided.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
