Perioperative Automated Noninvasive Blood Pressure- (NIBP-) Related Peripheral Nerve Injuries: An Anesthetist’s Dilemma—A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Table 1

Classification of peripheral nerve injuries [10, 11].

Seddon	Sunderland	Pathophysiology
Neuropraxia (compression)	Type 1	Local myelin damage with the nerve still intact
Axonotmesis (crush)	Type 2	The continuity of axons is lost. The endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium remain intact. Loss of continuity of axons with Wallerian degeneration due to disruption of axoplasmic flow
	Type 3; Type 4	Type 2 with endoneurial injury; Type 2 with endoneurial and perineurial injury but an intact epineurium
Neurotmesis (transection)	Type 5	Complete physiological disruption of the entire nerve trunk. Early surgical intervention necessary. Prognosis guarded
