Summary
Background: Local anesthetic (LA) concentration and nerve block duration is sparsely
described in a heterogenic study mass.
Aim: To investigate the effect of LA concentration on peripheral nerve block duration in
healthy volunteers.
Methods: Randomization of 60 healthy volunteers who will receive 1 of 5 different volumes of
LA (ropivacaine) using a constant dose.
Primary endpoint: Sensory nerve block defined by insensitivity towards cold.
