The phrenic nerve is often at risk for damage during cardiac surgeries, as it runs along the surface of the heart and plays a crucial role in controlling the movement of the diaphragm for breathing. Damage to the phrenic nerve can lead to paralysis of the diaphragm and potentially impair breathing function post-surgery.
Mepivacaine HCl is a local anesthetic used to numb a specific area of the body during medical procedures or surgeries. It works by blocking nerve signals in the body to provide pain relief. It is commonly used in dental procedures, minor surgeries, and epidural anesthesia.
The anterior superior alveolar nerve can be affected by trauma to the maxilla during dental procedures, dental implants, or maxillofacial surgery. It can also be damaged by infections, cysts, or tumors in the maxillary region.
The cranial nerve that, if damaged, can cause an inability to see close objects is the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). Damage to this nerve can affect the movement of the eye muscles responsible for changing focus and adjusting the shape of the lens to see objects up close.
The anatomical structure that provides alternative nerves in case a regional nerve is damaged is known as a nerve plexus. Nerve plexuses, such as the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses, are networks of intersecting nerves that allow for the redistribution of nerve fibers. This anatomical arrangement ensures that if one nerve is compromised, other nearby nerves can still innervate the corresponding muscles and skin areas, providing a degree of redundancy and functional resilience.
Prostaglandins are released by damaged tissues and stimulate nerve endings to produce the sensation of pain. They also cause inflammation and fever as part of the body's immune response to injury.
The recurrent laryngeal nerve is the most commonly damaged nerve during throidectomy.
depending on which nerve is damaged almost anything could happen
It depends on how badly damaged the nerve is. If it is completely severed, the likelihood of restoration of complete function is low. If the nerve is simply bumped or touched, it will usually heal on its own within 12 months. The most frequent nerve damaged during wisdom tooth extraction is actually the mandibular nerve, which runs through the lower jaw and provides sensation to all the lower teeth on one side.
Yes. There are nerves that run through this very tight, wide "bracelet". They can be damaged by the surgery, swelling afterwards or in therapy.
A nerve cell can be injured in many ways. One was is a direct attack on the nerve cell from an external force such as an infection. Another way is when the organism is attacked and the nerve cells are damaged during the attack.
It is rare but possible for sciatic nerve damage to occur during a cardiac catheterization procedure, particularly if there are complications such as inadvertent needle or catheter insertion into the nerve. Immediate symptoms may include sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg, and should be reported to the medical team promptly for evaluation and management.
Cardiac muscles are involuntary. Cardiac muscles are what makes the heart pump. Cardiac muscles are only in your heart. If those muscles were voluntary, organisms would most likely die. Skeletal muscles are voluntary. You can move any part of your body freely with these muscles, unless you are paralized in which your skeletal muscles are damaged, the nerve cells from those muscles to the spine are damaged, or the spine itself is damaged. Skeletal muscles are found in all of the body. In an average person, skeletal muscles make up 40% of body weight. So:: Cardiac muscles are INVOLUNTATY Skeletal muscles are VOLUNTARY

sciatic nerve
No because it has no nerve endings. That's why brain surgeries can be performed with the patient awake.
