  • In-vitro stress relaxation response of neonatal peripheral nerves

    The peak stress on a neonatal peripheral nerve, however, may change as a result of its viscoelastic properties. Peripheral nerves, like most biological tissue, undergo stress relaxation – a property of viscoelastic materials that results in a time-dependent reduction in stress after the material has been stretched and held for a period of time, and is likely dependent upon several factors such as internal fluid pressure (Low et al., 1977), number and distribution of macrostructural elements, such as fascicles (Sunderland and Bradley, 1961), and microstructural elements of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen (Mason and Phillips, 2011; Ushiki and Ide, 1990), elastin (Tassler et al., 1994), and other key proteins (Zilic et al., 2015). Such a situation may arise during complicated shoulder dystocia deliveries, wherein the fetal shoulder impacts the maternal pelvis and the BP is subjected to stretch for prolonged durations that range between 90 and 300 seconds (Beall et al., 1998; Gherman et al., 1998; Hope et al., 1998; Lerner et al., 2011; Spong et al., 1995).

    However, elevated endoneurial albumin concentrations have been described in human diabetic neuropathy, postulated to occur as a consequence of BNB failure (Poduslo et al., 1988). Endoneurial compartment pressure in rat peripheral nerves has been reported as 1.2 ± 0.7 mm Hg (1.6 ± 0.95 cm H₂O) (Low et al., 1977) and 2.0 ± 1.0 cm H₂O (Myers et al., 1978). This positive hydrostatic pressure is likely due to the lack of draining endoneurial lymphatic vessels (Sunderland, 1978).
