Multistimulation Techniques for Peripheral Nerve Blocks A1 - Casati, Andrea A1 - Putzu, Marta A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - Contrary to common, oversimplified representations by medical illustrators, the arrangement of peripheral nerves and plexuses is quite complex. Various tissue compartments contain connective tissue and fat; terminal branches of plexuses and nerves divide and separate frequently, and the different branches may run at some distance from one another. Accordingly, once injected at a particular site, the local anesthetic molecules have to diffuse through several barriers before reaching the nerves, the first barrier being the distance between the injection site and each branch.
