Electrical nerve block uses electrical waveforms to block action potential propagation.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Two key features that distinguish electrical nerve block from other nonelectrical means of nerve block: block occurs instantly, typically within 1 s; and block is fully and rapidly reversible (within seconds).
Approaches for achieving electrical nerve block are reviewed, including kilohertz frequency alternating current and charge-balanced polarizing current. We conclude with a discussion of the future directions of electrical nerve block.
Electrical nerve block is an emerging technique that has many significant advantages over other methods of nerve block. This field is still in its infancy, but a significant expansion in the clinical application of this technique is expected in the coming years.
电神经阻滞利用电波形来阻断动作电位的传播。
电神经阻滞与其他非电神经阻滞方法相区别的两个关键特征:阻滞瞬间发生,通常在1秒内;且阻滞完全且迅速可逆(数秒内)。
综述了实现电神经阻滞的方法,包括千赫兹频率交流电和电荷平衡极化电流。最后我们讨论了电神经阻滞的未来发展方向。
电神经阻滞是一种新兴技术,与其他神经阻滞方法相比具有许多显著优势。该领域仍处于起步阶段,但预计未来几年该技术的临床应用将大幅扩展。
