Histological Consequences of Needle-Nerve Contact following Nerve Stimulation in a Pig Model
Background. Nerve stimulation can facilitate correct needle placement in peripheral regional anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine whether the high threshold current is associated with reduced nerve injury due to fewer needle-nerve contacts compared with low current. Methods. In anaesth...
