PROCEDURE

Dominant Arm

The volume of local anesthetic used for the block of the ulnar and median nerve will be 5 times the estimated 95% effective dose (ED 95 ) of LA needed to block the nerve relative to the nerve cross-sectional area. The ED 95 for the ulnar nerve has been elucidated to be 0,11ml/mm2. The same ED 95 will be used for the median nerve.

PROCEDURE

Non-dominant arm

The volume of local anesthetic used for the block of the ulnar and median nerve will be 5 times the estimated 95% effective dose (ED 95 ) of LA needed to block the nerve relative to the nerve cross-sectional area. The ED 95 for the ulnar nerve has been elucidated to be 0,11ml/mm2. The same ED 95 will be used for the median nerve.
