Incidence and risk factors for neurological injury after interscalene peripheral nerve block at an academic institution

Using medical records, the neurologic impairment was considered due to the ISB if the deficit was in the C5 or C6 dermatome distribution (thumb, index finger, or radial forearm). To assess risk factors, Firth penalized logistic regression was conducted, due to the small number of patients with nerve...

Description
Summary:Using medical records, the neurologic impairment was considered due to the ISB if the deficit was in the C5 or C6 dermatome distribution (thumb, index finger, or radial forearm). To assess risk factors, Firth penalized logistic regression was conducted, due to the small number of patients with nerve injury. [...]ISB were performed primarily by anesthesiologists with additional training in regional anesthesia; therefore, they have more technical expertise.
