Abstract
Unintentional injection of atracurium mixed with ropivacaine during axillary brachial plexus block leads to complete body paralysis that requires general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. Recovery was complete without any neurological sequela. An analysis of the chain of events that led to the error suggests some recommendations to improve our daily practice.
