Peripheral Regional Blockade and EMG

The investigators are studying a type of technology that is already used called surface electromyography (EMG). This measures and records electrical activity using sensor stickers in a non-invasive way. The purpose of this study is to use a prototype/test surface EMG machine to measure how well regional anesthesia (nerve block) is working. This device is non-invasive and being used for research use as an unapproved medical device. The information may teach us how to give nerve blocks more safely and effectively. Study participation: Subjects having surgery will have the surface EMG sensor stickers placed on their arms or legs before surgery. These will stay on during surgery and for part of recovery. Study visits: The study will consist of 1 visit that starts in the pre-operative area, through the surgery, and for part of recovery time after surgery.
