The stimulation pattern described indicates ulnar nerve
stimulation. Advancing to a deeper position in the axilla when
stimulating the ulnar nerve would not be expected to place the
needle closer to the desired median nerve. Advancing to a
deeper position when stimulating the ulnar nerve might recruit
fibers from the radial nerve.
The stimulation pattern described indicates ulnar nerve
stimulation. Withdrawing and redirecting inferiorly when
stimulating the ulnar nerve would not be expected to place the
needle tip closer to the desired median nerve.
The stimulation pattern described indicates ulnar nerve
stimulation. An optimal needle position would place the needle
tip next to the median nerve.
(B) Withdrawing and redirecting more superiorly would place the needle tip in
the proximity of the median nerve
