Surgery Operation in Upper Limbs
Experimental Description One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for operation in upper limbs were randomly divided into group A and group B, 60 in each group. Bupivacaine 25 ml (0.375% in concentration) was used to block intermuscular plexus brachialis in the operation for anesthesia and EAAD was used for adjunctive localizing in group A, while in group B paresthesia elicitation was used.
Sample Count 120
Age 15-55
Control
Std
paresthesia elicitation group(n=60)
Experiment Bupivacaine and EAAD group(n=60)
Indicator Vital signs Anesthesia conditions Nerve block effects
Auxiliary Medication Atropine;Sodium Phenobarbital;Bupivacaine
Stimulation Method EA
Anesthesia Method
AAA
Clinical Trial Type randomly
Adverse Effects There were no adverse reactions or complications such as local anesthetic toxicity, pneumothorax, or nerve damage in either group.
Contraindications Those with concurrent other traumas or other traumas that have not been cured; Those with infection or scars on the affected side of the neck
Effector In group A, the blocking was complete in 56 cases and incomplete in 4, the anesthesia effect was superior to that in group B, complete in 46, incomplete in 9, and of inefficient in 5 (P < 0.01). EAAD provides a localizing method for plexus brachialis blocking more precise than paresthesia elicitation.

Title [Application of electro-acupuncture-anesthesia device in brachiplex nerve blocking].
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture-anesthesia device (EAAD) as an auxiliary localizing method for brachiplex nerve blocking. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for operation in upper limbs were randomly divided into group A and group B, 60 in each group. Bupivacaine 25 ml (0.375% in concentration) was used to block intermuscular plexus brachialis in the operation for anesthesia and EAAD was used for adjunctive localizing in group A, while in group B paresthesia elicitation was used. RESULTS: In group A, the blocking was complete in 56 cases and incomplete in 4, the anesthesia effect was superior to that in group B, complete in 46, incomplete in 9, and of inefficient in 5 (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: EAAD provides a localizing method for plexus brachialis blocking more precise than paresthesia elicitation."
