Transient paralysis of upper extremity after percutaneous cannulation of the subclavian vein for hemodialysis.
Two cases of transient paralysis of upper extremity after percutaneous cannulation of the subclavian vein for hemodialysis are presented for the first time. Large amounts of lidocaine used, together with its deep and too lateral administration are responsible for development of this transient complication.
