Randomized Controlled TrialAssessment of the tissue diffusion of anesthetic agent following administration of a low palmar nerve block in horses.
To investigate tissue diffusion of anesthetic agent following administration of low palmar nerve blocks (LPBs) in horses. ⋯ In horses, LPBs resulted in minimal proximal diffusion of anesthetic agent from the injection sites. Limbs should be aseptically prepared prior to LPB administration because inadvertent intrasynovial injection may occur.
