Efficacy of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block: a comparative study with nerve stimulator-guided method.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of axillary brachial plexus block using an ultrasound-guided method with the nerve stimulator-guided method. We also compared the efficacy of ultrasound-guided single-injection with those of double-injection for the quality of the block. METHODS Ninety patients scheduled for surgery of the forearm or hand were randomly allocated int...

متن کاملComparison of three different volumes of mepivacaine in axillary plexus block using multiple nerve stimulation.
BACKGROUND The multiple injection technique for axillary block, in which the four distal nerves of the plexus are located by a nerve stimulator and separately injected, has been shown to provide a high success rate and a short onset time. This randomized double-blind study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of three different volumes of mepivacaine 10 mg x ml(-1) in patients undergoing ...
متن کاملPosterior brachial plexus block with nerve stimulator and 0.5% ropivacaine.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are several approaches to the brachial plexus depending on the experience of the anesthesiologist and the site of the surgery. Posterior brachial plexus block may be an alternative for shoulder, clavicle and proximal humerus surgery. This study aims at presenting the results of patients submitted to posterior brachial plexus block with 0.5% ropivacaine and the ai...
متن کاملAxillary Brachial Plexus Block
The axillary approach to brachial plexus blockade provides satisfactory anaesthesia for elbow, forearm, and hand surgery and also provides reliable cutaneous anaesthesia of the inner upper arm including the medial cutaneous nerve of arm and intercostobrachial nerve, areas often missed with other approaches. In addition, the axillary approach remains the safest of the four main options, as it do...
