BACKGROUND: Local anesthetics (LA) work by blocking sodium conductance through voltage-gated sodium channels. Complete local anesthetic resistance is infrequent, and the cause is unknown. Genetic variation in sodium channels is a potential mechanism for local anesthetic resistance. A patient with a history of inadequate loss of sensation following LA administration underwent an ultrasound-guided brachial plexus...
