A 10-cm, s/l "forearm area" was prepped with chlorhexidine and draped in the usual sterile fashion. The fourth intercostal space was identified and a syringe, with a needle and 1% lidocaine with epi, was used to anesthetize the skin, subcutaneous tissue, periosteum and pleura. Would this be correct-- maybe the forearm was prepped for IV, but this was not stated.
