AbstractThe use of peripheral catheter techniques for regional anaesthesia and analgesia is quite common today. Although electrical nerve stimulation facilitates the correct placement of the insertion cannula, nobody knows where exactly the tip of the advanced catheter will be located after insertion. With the help of stimulation nerve catheters the stimulation of the target nerve via the tip of the catheter during insertion enables a placement nearby the nerve without additional devices. These new catheter systems require--in comparison to the conventional--a modified insertion technique. This article illustrates how to use these catheters in clinical practice and provides information about investigations to success rate and failure.
