what is the lowest stimulating current do you use for regional nerve block? I use 0.3mA with insulated needle, but my colleagues say this is too low and that most "books" reccomend the use of 0.5mA. What is the conscensus?
Thank you
The minimal current in my hospital is 0.4 mAmp, except in diabetic patients , 0.6 or more . But 0.3 is fine, take attention only with a pression when you inject de local anesthetic! High pression is a bad sign
