The femoral artery is a continuation of the external iliac artery and is located just below the inguinal ligament. (medscape.com)
Here, the common femoral artery gives off the superficial femoral and profunda femoral arteries. (medscape.com)
The femoral artery is usually easily palpable at the groin and widely used for arterial access. (medscape.com)
Location of femoral artery in relation to the nerve and vein. (medscape.com)
In rare cases, a radial artery may originate from the brachial artery in the upper arm. (medscape.com)
Thus, when performing a radial artery cannulation, the anatomy should be viewed before passing any catheters or guidewires. (medscape.com)
In most patients, the radial artery originates from the brachial artery just below the level of the elbow crease. (medscape.com)
When it reaches the wrist, the radial artery is easily palpated above the trapezium and scaphoid bones and the external lateral ligament. (medscape.com)
Because of the tortuosity of the radial artery, the wrist needs to be extended prior to catheterization. (medscape.com)
At the level of the hand, the radial artery traverses the space between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger and enters the palm. (medscape.com)
The superficial palmar arch is made by communication of the ulnar artery with the superficialis branch of the radial artery. (medscape.com)
At the level of the wrist, it divides into two branches that join the radial artery and its superficial branch to form the deep and superficial palmar arches. (medscape.com)
Any patient with radial artery dominance (ie, an abnormal Allen test result) should not undergo cannulation of that artery. (medscape.com)
In addition, patients who have ulnar artery dominance tend to have a higher incidence of radial artery access failures with cannulation. (medscape.com)
Despite relatively small caliber of radial artery (white), we placed a sheath anyway. (neuroangio.org)
So, after all it was not, in my view, a problem of too small a caliber of radial artery but of brachial spasm in a relatively young patient. (neuroangio.org)

Distal sensory neuropathy occurs in up to 30% of patients with AIDS, usually late in the disease. (unboundmedicine.com)
Following femoral and sciatic blockade, surgical procedures of the knee and distal pelvic limb have been reported under sedation rather than general anesthesia in dogs. (asra.com)
However, for surgeries occurring distal to the elbow, a combination radial, ulnar, median, musculocutaneous block is chosen because this technique lacks many of the more serious complications such as pneumothorax, cervicothoracic ganglion block with Horner's syndrome and phrenic nerve paralysis.

Brachial plexus3
It can be caused by damage to the nerves from drugs, damage to the nerve from alcohol, damage to the tibial nerve, damage to the brachial plexus in the arm, damage to the radial nerve in the arm, damage to the sciatic nerve, autonomic neuropathy, and damage to the ulnar nerve or damage to the femoral nerve, among others. (mpoi.net)
The muscles in your hands and arms are controlled by the median, ulnar, and radial nerves, plus the brachial plexus nerve network. (advancedreconstruction.com)

Motor neuropathy1
Sensory neuropathy is far more common than motor neuropathy, but pure motor neuropathy can occur. (medscape.com)
Autonomic1
Inherited neuropathies in which autonomic or sensory features predominate, conditions in which the neuropathy is part of a multiple-organ disturbance, and neuropathies with specific metabolic dysfunction are not discussed. (medscape.com)
Elbow1
In the axilla/shoulder, the arteries become the brachial arteries, which then divide just below the elbow into the radial and ulnar arteries. (medscape.com)
Proximal1
Because ulnar was widely patent, loss of pulse ox tracing meant that flow issue was proximal to ulnar/radial split. (neuroangio.org)
AAEM case report #27: acute retrohumeral radial neuropathies. (lhsc.on.ca)
We routinely treat neuropathies in both acute and chronic stages, and we always seek to first address the root cause of the neuropathy before simply masking the pain or providing temporary symptomatic relief. (alpineathleticmedicine.com)
Neuropathies can arise due to a variety of injuries and conditions, and we treat everything from simple single nerve entrapments to complex regional pain syndromes (also see our pain page for acute and chronic pain management strategies). (alpineathleticmedicine.com)
Of the 5627 acute flaccid paralysis cases reported, 456 were identified as traumatic injection neuropathy by case review. (who.int)

Pulses2
Despite good ulnar and radial pulses, an incomplete palmar arch is observed in 10%-20% of patients. (medscape.com)
Normal situation radial and femoral pulsations are felt equally and synchronously.The inequality between two radial pulses is known as Rad. (medicosnotes.com)
Vein1
During cardiac arrest, fluid and drugs given through a femoral vein CVC often fail to circulate above the diaphragm because of the increased intrathoracic pressure generated by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). (msdmanuals.com)
Root cause of the neuropathy2
While we do prescribe neuropathic pain medications, it is important to recognize that these do not actually remyelinate the nerve nor resolve the root cause of the neuropathy, but instead these only provide symptomatic relief and often have unwanted systemic side effects. (alpineathleticmedicine.com)
This suggests that, in most cases, axonal damage is the root cause of the neuropathy, not demyelination. (medscape.com)
Incidence2
The present results show that the incidence of PSS with peripheral neuropathy (PN) is very different, the clinical features are heterogeneous, the pathogenesis is not completely clear, and there is no unified treatment suggestion. (biomedcentral.com)
We estimate that the annual incidence of traumatic injection neuropathy rate in Pakistan is 7.1 per 1 000 000 in children under 3 years old. (who.int)

Axonal1
In the late 1960s, neurophysiologic testing allowed the classification of CMT into 2 groups, one with slow nerve conduction velocities and histologic features of a hypertrophic demyelinating neuropathy (hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 1 or CMT1) and another with relatively normal velocities and axonal and neuronal degeneration (hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 2 or CMT2). (medscape.com)
Clinical2
Clinical examination is often sufficient to reliably diagnose leprous neuropathy. (medscape.com)
Although the type of catheter and site chosen are often determined by individual clinical and patient characteristics, a jugular CVC or PICC line is usually preferred to a subclavian CVC (associated with a higher risk of bleeding and pneumothorax) or femoral CVC (associated with a higher risk of infection).
