How safe is blood sampling? Anterior interosseus nerve injury by venepuncture

Abstract:
All invasive procedures carry some degree of risk of damage to the normal structures in the proximity of the region where the procedure is performed. The risk is, however, minimal for venous cannulation. A case is reported of an injury to the anterior interosseus nerve sustained during venepunture for routine blood sampling at the cubital fossa.
