Real-Time Monitoring of the Injection Pressure During the Peripheral Nerve Block
A Single-Center, First-in-Human, Randomized, Controlled, Feasibility Study of a New Device for the Real-Time Continuous Monitoring of the Injection Pressure of Local Anesthetic in Subjects Undergoing Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block: the Smart Needle Monitoring System Investigation
Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Bellinzona
34 participants
Dec 19, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial with medical device is to learn if the Smart Needle Monitoring System works to maintain a safe low injection pressure during a type of regional anaesthetic (Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB)) in patients due to undergo surgery below the elbow . It will also learn about the safety of the device and patients' perception of the quality of anesthesia. Participants will: * be operated locally according to standard clinical practice * undergo post-anesthesia recovery and any neurologic symptoms or signs assessment on postoperative days 1 and 7
