Monitoring of Intensity of Stimulation and Injection Pressure in US Guided Peripheral Nerve Block According to Anatomic Needle Type Position

February 5, 2018 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Observational Study : Minimal Intensity of Stimulation During Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Block According to Anatomic Needle Type Position

The purpose of the study is define the minimal intensity of stimulation range at which the needle is closed to the nerve without penetrating its surface (epineurium layer) in ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The needle is placed at the target under ultrasound guidance the nerve stimulator is turned on and the intensity increased until motor response is observed the Minimum Intensity Observation (MIS) is recorded before injection of local anesthetic

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement of Minimum Intensity Stimulation
Time Frame: estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

Minimal Intensity Stimulation (MIS) was measured Using a specific nerve stimulator (modified HNS 12 B. BRAUN, Melsungen, Germany) ; the value are noted in mA. [0- 1.5].

The time frame is only related to procedure of PNB. In other term, the period of assessment should be estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
tissure pressure at the target
Time Frame: estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

Tissue pressure at the target was measured Using a specific pressure sensor (compuflow pump Milestone Scientific, Livingston, NJ, USA) ; the value are noted in mm Hg. [0- 900].

from beginning to end of ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.
