However, this is based on the assumption that an appropriate motor response with a sufficiently low electrical charge equals adequate positioning of the catheter tip.
*MEC = Minimal electrical charge necessary to elicit an appropriate motor response.
**NRS recovery = numerical rating scale for pain upon arrival in the recovery room; ††MEC = Minimal electrical charge necessary to evoke an appropriate motor response.
After inserting a stimulating catheter as if it were a non-stimulating catheter for 2 5 cm through the needle, the minimal electrical charge necessary to obtain an appropriate motor response was determined.
In other words: A low electrical charge necessary to evoke an appropriate motor response signals close proximity of the catheter tip to the nerve, whereas an increase in the MEC signals an increase in the distance between catheter tip and the nerve.
When an appropriate motor response can be elicited with a low electrical charge, close proximity to the nerve is evident.
However, when the necessary electrical charge is relatively high, or an appropriate motor response is absent, there are three possibilities: the tip of the catheter may either still be close enough to the nerve to provide adequate analgesia, or it may be at an intermediate distance with partial analgesic effect, or it may be too far off and inadequate for postoperative analgesia.
Therefore, plasma and urine are electrically neutral and the sum of their anions (negative electrical charge) equals the sum of their cations (positive electrical charge) [ 1– 4].
Main outcome measures include the minimal electrical charge (MEC) at the tip of the stimulating catheter necessary to elicit an appropriate motor response, and the efficacy of the PNB catheter as determined by 24 h postoperative PCA morphine consumption.
(Unfortunately they felt the overused "electrical charge").
It held an electrical charge, a force.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
