Supraclavicular brachial plexus block with and without dexamethasone - a comparative study.
UNLABELLED To compare the analgesic efficacy of local aesthetic with and without dexamethasone in supraclavicular brachial plexus block. METHODS Forty patients undergoing arm, forearm and hand surgeries were randomly selected. The forty patients were divided in two groups of 20 each. In-group one, a brachial plexus block was done with 40-50 ml of local anaesthetic with 1:200,000 adrenaline an...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.
UNLABELLED In this study, we evaluated state-of-the-art ultrasound technology for supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in 40 outpatients. Ultrasound imaging was used to identify the brachial plexus before the block, guide the block needle to reach target nerves, and visualize the pattern of local anesthetic spread. Needle position was further confirmed by nerve stimulation before injection. T...
متن کاملUSING PHYSICAL EXAMINATION IN SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK WITH MODIFIED PARASCALENE APPROACH
Background: Because nerve stimulators are not always available for brachial plexus block, fmding the right injection spot for nerve blocks is important. In this study we used physical examination to determine the appropriate spot for injection. Methods: All patients who were candidates for upper extremity surgery and were either in class ASA I or ASA II, were selected. Paresthesia was elici...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Interscalene and Supraclavicular Approach of Brachial Plexus Block on Upper Limb Surgeries
Introduction: There are different methods to perform brachial plexus block. Interscalene and supraclavicular approaches are the most frequently used technique during upper limb surgeries.The aims of this study were to compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic parameters, sparing of analgesia in any dermatome and to observe any adverse effect during lower arm, elbow ...
متن کاملSupraclavicular brachial plexus block: a comparative clinical study between bupivacaine and levobupivacaine.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Brachial plexus block is used in surgical procedures of the upper limbs. The brachial plexus is a potential territory for absorption of local anesthetics. Studies on bupivacaine isomers have shown reduced cardiovascular toxicity of its levorotatory form (levobupivacaine). However, the anesthetic efficacy (sensorial and motor blockades) of levobupivacaine in neuroaxis b...
