ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in the motor response to nerve stimulation in patients with type II diabetes mellitus when performing peripheral nerve blocks. Material and methods: We included 79 patients divided into 2 groups of 39 each, the dm group of patients with diabetes mellitus, the n group with healthy patients, nerve stimulation is performed starting at 1 mA to find motor response in grade II. Once localized progressively decreased to 0.3 mA when the valuation was performed, the intensity of the response. Results: Motor response in the DM group was present in 52.6% of patients in grade II, 30.8% response was present in grade I and the remaining 16.6% of patients had no response so ecography guide was used for nerve identified. In the control group 100% of patients had grade II response. Conclusion: The response to nerve stimulation is different in diabetic patients which may reduce their success rate.
