Abstract

Nerve injuries can occur during general anesthesia as a result of patient positioning and/or tourniquet placement; during regional anesthesia, there is the potential for direct injury to the nerve. Risk factors are often multifactorial, and it is helpful to classify these into various categories: patient-related, anesthesia-related, and surgery-related causes. This chapter classifies identifiable risk factors and how they can be evaded. Clinical manifestations of commonly encountered nerve injuries are described, so the perioperative providers can quickly recognize a peripheral nerve deficit. The diagnosis can be aided by EMG, nerve stimulation, and certain imaging techniques. Early nerve repair results in improved functional outcomes. Surgical techniques and nonsurgical techniques are also described.
