abstract：BACKGROUND:The perception of high resistance during injection of a local anesthetic during regional anesthesia may indicate intraneural injection. Anesthetists' ability to detect high resistance by "syringe feel" has been questioned in the past. The aim of our study was to investigate the anesthetist's ability to detec...
