Digital pressure during interscalene block is clinically ineffective in preventing anesthetic spread to the cervical plexus.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Local anesthetics inhibit binding of ligands to beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2ARs), and, as a consequence, inhibit intracellular cAMP production. We hypothesized that among homologous local anesthetics, their avidity at inhibiting binding of tritiated dihydroalprenolol (3H-DHA) to beta2ARs would increase ...
