| 41. | The long thoracic nerve traverses this passageway in addition to axillary blood vessels and the brachial plexus.
|
| 42. | Brachial plexus anesthesia by percutaneous injection through axillary and supraclavicular approaches was developed in the early 20th century.
|
| 43. | Erlanger developed and patented a new type of sphygmomanometer that could measure blood pressure from the brachial artery.
|
| 44. | The carotid tubercle is also used as a landmark for anaesthesia of the brachial plexus and cervical plexus.
|
| 45. | The higher systolic reading of the left and right arm brachial artery is generally used in the assessment.
|
| 46. | Injuries to the brachial plexus result from excessive stretching or tearing of the C5-T1 nerve fibers.
|
| 47. | Traction, also known as stretch injury, is one of the mechanisms that cause brachial plexus injury.
|
| 48. | The pygmy slow loris produces an apocrine secretion on scent glands near their elbow ( brachial glands ).
|
| 49. | The similarity between the brachial gland secretions and domestic cat allergens may account for anaphylaxis in susceptible individuals.
|
| 50. | Other rare but serious complications from brachial plexus block include pneumothorax and persistent paresis of the phrenic nerve.
