Wrong-sided peripheral nerve blocks occur with a surprisingly high frequency despite being described as a "never event." Timeout procedures are performed and documented, yet timeout omission is rarely cited as a contributing factor for wrong-sided blocks. We present two cases of near-miss wrong-sided peripheral nerve blocks and provide recommendations based on the current literature and the most common contributing factors.
尽管被描述为“绝不允许发生的事件”,但错误侧周围神经阻滞的发生频率却高得出奇。虽然进行了并记录了术前暂停程序,但术前暂停遗漏很少被认为是错误侧阻滞的一个促成因素。我们报告两例险些发生的错误侧周围神经阻滞病例,并根据当前文献和最常见的促成因素提供建议。
