Comparison of a supraclavicular block showing upper arm twitching response with a supraclavicular block showing wrist or finger twitching response
BACKGROUND Although an ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block has become the standard, conventional brachial plexus blocks with a paresthesia or muscle twitch are still performed. However despite eliciting a paresthesia or muscle twitch, there are some cases in whom the brachial plexus block fails. This has been attributed to the difference between the proximal response (PR) and distal respons...
متن کاملUltrasound guided supraclavicular block.
Ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia is becoming increasingly popular. The supraclavicular block has been transformed by ultrasound guidance into a potentially safe superficial block. We reviewed the techniques of performing supraclavicular block with special focus on ultrasound guidance.
متن کاملSpecific evoked motor response for supraclavicular brachial block.
OBJECTIVE To assess and evaluate the accuracy of individual types of evoked motor responses (EMRs) for prediction of successful surgical anesthesia following peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) assisted supraclavicular block. METHODS A prospective study was carried out over a period of one and half years from August 2004 to January 2006, at J. N. Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Alig...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Block in a Patient with Toxic Goiter and Exposed Wrist Fracture
We report the case of an elderly woman with cervical deformity due to a large diffuse goiter and predictive data for a difficult airway, alteration of all thyroid hormone levels and an exposed wrist fracture. After a pre-block ultrasound scan, the supraclavicular approach to the brachial plexus was selected because the gland growth was in the anterior to posterior axis, without displacement of ...
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...
