“…In accordance, the incidence of acute neuropathic pain after venipuncture for blood sampling has been evaluated among 587 551 venipunctures in Japan . Based on physician assessment sheets, 19 patients with continuous moderate to severe pain were identified as having neuropathic pain based on simultaneous sensory or motor disturbances corresponding to an incidence of 3·2/100 000.…”

“…However, relatively rare, but potentially serious complications including nerve injury and mistaken arterial punctures have been reported. 9,10 Cubital veins are also used to introduce cardiac catheters from cardiac chambers to obtain blood samples and for cardio-angiography. 11 To plan dialysis access in a given patient, it's essential to understand the anatomy patterns of the cubital superficial veins.…”

Background: The superficial veins of the cubital fossa are frequently variable in existence and arrangement. Many clinical procedures, such as reconstructive microsurgery and arterial bypass surgery, as well as intravenous injections or therapy, require the use of superficial veins. Aims and Objective: The aim of the study was to observe and describe the variations in anatomical distribution of the superficial veins of the cubital fossa in Nepalese pre-clinical medical students. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study included a total of 98 students between 18 to 24 years of age. A total of 196 anterior aspects of both arms were examined for cubital venous pattern. A tourniquet was applied at the mid-arm and drawing of the pattern of veins was made on a separate unglazed paper. The venous patterns in the cubital fossa were then categorized based on their gender. Results: Six patterns of superficial veins of the cubital fossa were observed. The commonest pattern in both genders was type I pattern. No statistical significant difference was observed between patterns of superficial veins on the right and left cubital fossa (P = 0.728 and 0.825 respectively) in both male and female subjects. Conclusion: Our research showed six venous patterns of superficial veins at the cubital fossa in Nepalese population. Understanding the common anatomy, patterns and variations of superficial vein anastomosis is imperative as this knowledge would help those needing venous access for various medical procedures.

“…Papadimos and Hofmann reported a rare case of CRPS type 1 following transradial coronary intervention, which etiology was that the radial artery was occluded for a distance of 12 cm proximal to the puncture site, possibly due to the longer period of hemostatic compression[8]. A fi ve-year Japanese study revealed 133 cases of resultant persistent pain and 19 cases of neuropathic pain after performing venipunctures[4].It has also been shown that venipunctures may cause CRPS type 2[9]. Horowitz reported 11 patients with injury to upper extremity cutaneous nerves after routine venipuncture developed causalgia (CRPS type 2), and proposed that nerve injury appeared secondary to direct trauma via "inappropriate" needle or bolused material entry into the plane of the nerves beneath the veins, or nerves overlying the veins[10].Unek et al reported a patient with end-stage renal disease presenting with refl ex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (CRPS type 1) on the patient's left hand 1 month after Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) surgery.…”

The occurrence of hematoma and bruise formation, accounting for the majority of donation-related complications in the arm, rarely results in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). We report a 24-year-old man who presented with CRPS on his right upper limb two months later due to hematoma and bruising formation just after a blood donation following with immediate performance of strenuous exercise in the upper limbs. Triple phase bone scan, one of the bone scintigraphic studies, revealed positive fi ndings and was compatible with the symptoms of CRPS, e.g. hyperalgesia, swelling and discoloration. The potentially disabling condition, however, ended up with a thankfully benign outcome because of our early fi nding and proper treatment that included three-day oral prednisolone and two-week physiotherapy and occupational rehabilitation. To our knowledge, CRPS produced by donation-related complications with subsequent hematoma and bruise due to vigorous exercise is rare. CRPS should be taken into consideration in a blood donor who demonstrated allodynia because of performing heavy exercise immediately after blood donation.
