NEA Peripheral Nerve Blocks. Peripheral nerve blocks play an important role in the anesthetic plan for patients undergoing many types of surgical procedures. A peripheral nerve block is accomplished by injecting a local anesthetic near the nerve, or nerves, that control sensation and movement to a specific part of the body.
The radial nerve block may supplement the brachial plexus block. If performing a brachial plexus block at the humeral canal, block the radial nerve before blocking the ulnar nerve. This block can be performed at the humerus, elbow, and wrist levels. Lidocaine, bupivacaine, ropivacaine are the local anesthetics typically used for this procedure.
