Venepuncture nerve injuries.

P R Berry, W E Wallis

    Lancet (London, England)
    |June 11, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Peripheral nerve injuries, including median and cutaneous nerves, can occur after antecubital fossa venepuncture. Carbamazepine effectively relieved pain in affected patients, highlighting the importance of early recognition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Venepuncture is a common medical procedure for blood collection and intravenous access.
    • Potential complications, though rare, can arise from invasive procedures like venepuncture.

    Observation:

    • Six patients at a blood-transfusion center experienced painful peripheral-nerve injuries following venepuncture in the antecubital fossa.
    • Injured nerves included the median nerve and the medial and lateral cutaneous nerves of the forearm.

    Findings:

    • The estimated frequency of this specific venepuncture complication is approximately 1 in 25,000 procedures.
    • Three patients received carbamazepine for pain management, reporting significant pain relief.

    Implications:

    • Early identification of post-venepuncture nerve injury is crucial for effective patient management.
