Orthopedic Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Relationship Between Needle Position and Injection Pressure During Femoral Nerve Block
Recent evidence suggests that injection pressure monitoring may be able to predict needle nerve contact in the brachial plexus nerve block model, but little is known about multifascicular nerves. The investigators hypothesize that injection pressure monitoring can reliably predict needle-nerve contact during femoral nerve block.
Single center, observational study. Patients scheduled for elective lower limb surgery with
femoral nerve block will be recruited. Femoral nerve will be identified using a linear
ultrasound transducer. A 22 GA 5 cm nerve block needle will be inserted with bevel downward
and advanced to the following conditions:
1. Needle tip slightly indenting the fascia iliaca lateral to the femoral nerve
2. Needle tip advanced through fascia iliaca
3. Needle tip slightly indenting the anterior surface of the femoral nerve
4. Needle tip withdrawn 1 mm from nerve.
At each of these conditions, 1 ml of dextrose solution will be injected via an automated
pump at 10 ml/min and the spread of injectate observed sonographically. Simultaneously, a
blinded observer will measure opening injection pressure using both an electronic and a
mechanical transducer. If opening pressure reaches 15 psi, this investigator will halt the
injection. In addition, minimum threshold current required to elicit a motor response will
be recorded for conditions 3 and 4. Patients will be contacted at 7 days and asked about any
adverse effects.
