Brief summary

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

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

Interventions

PROCEDUREMeasure of the minimal intensity of stimulation during ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

A 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 Minimal Intensity of Stimulation is recorded before injection of local anesthetic

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Measurement of Minimum Intensity Stimulationestimated 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
tissure pressure at the targetestimated 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
