question
Can anyone validate this for me:
I was taught that if you use a pair of hemostats/etc. to crush/crimp the major nerve endings while performing an amputation it helps reduce the chances of the pt. experiencing the phantom limb phenomenon...
I did a google search but either my kung fu is weak or there isn't anything out there pertaining to the topic.
