Abstract
Local anesthetic injection at the proximal radial twitch significantly reduces the efficacy and prolongs the onset time of the radial nerve block. Searching for distal response is significantly more difficult and time consuming than searching for proximal response. However, it does not significantly increase patient discomfort or adverse effects.
