Anesthesia
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluation of three methods for the realization of a neuronal blockade.
Detailed description
Evaluation of three methods during the realization of a neuronal blockade. The three stimulations were: 1) echography, 2) echography and neurostimulation, and 3) echography, neurostimulation, and active mobilization by the patient.
Interventions
Neuronal blockade anesthesia for elective surgery of the hand was performed with an only echography.
Neuronal blockade anesthesia for elective surgery of the hand was performed with both echography and neurostimulation.
Neuronal blockade anesthesia for elective surgery of the hand was performed with echography, neurostimulation, and active mobilization.
