An insight into continuous peripheral nerve block catheter and how it is used in administration of local anesthesia
Continuous
peripheral nerve block catheter is a new technology of using catheters for
intravenous insertion into the upper and lower extremities. As a result, this
new technology is being used worldwide in various health care facilities for
various procedures including cardiac catheterization, nerve blockage, and
venous stasis ulceration. As such, there are many medical centers and hospitals
that offer a wide variety of advantages offered by continuous peripheral nerve
block catheters.
As mentioned
above, there are many benefits offered by a continuous
peripheral nerve block catheter. These are mainly due to the wide variety
of reasons as stated above that include: catheter introductions with less
invasive techniques; better outcomes for patients; and fewer complications
experienced by catheter users. The biggest advantage of using this technique
compared to other procedures is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to many other
medical procedures, the total cost of the catheterization is often considerably
less. This is primarily due to fact that the catheter separation is achieved at
an appropriate area and depth without causing any damage to the surrounding
tissue.
Despite the
fact that this new technology is constantly being improved upon, some of the
most common applications in the continuous peripheral catheter market including
catheter introductions for collection of urine and blood samples; application
and removal of different types of foreign bodies in the body; and application
of the local anesthetic. Another very important application is in the form of
venous stasis ulceration. This is most often used in patients who experience
venous stasis or leg ulcers, although this application is also useful for many
patients suffering from venous insufficiency. In general, the main advantage of
the catheter lies in its ability to provide relief from pain. As research and
development activities continue in Japan, Germany, Mexico, and other countries,
continuous peripheral nerve block catheter is expected to get better.
