“She Can’t Move Her Lower Limb after a Hip Surgery” - Neuropathy Caused by Peripheral Nerve Block or Surgical Operation and Its Diagnostic Method -

Abstract

Over the past decade or so, many ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block techniques have been established, and several anesthesiologists have performed peripheral nerve blocks in their daily practice. However, a complete professional requires both expertise in performing a peripheral nerve block and the ability to respond appropriately to complications.

In this article, based on a case of neuropathy after general anesthesia with a peripheral nerve block, we will learn how to avoid neuropathy that results from peripheral nerve block and how to diagnose neuropathy if it occurs. We will also learn how to diagnose neurological disorders if they occur.
