Comparison of infraclavicular brachial plexus block with supraclavicular brachial plexus block in upper limb surgeries using peripheral nerve stimulator

Background: The supraclavicular approach to brachialplexus block (SCB) is indicated for operations of upper extremity distal the shoulder; infraclavicular (ICB) arm, elbow, wrist, and hand. Objective study was compare brachial plexus with in limb surgeries using peripheral nerve stimulator.Methods: This prospective conducted among 78 patients, 39 each group block, posted various on elective or emergency basis both groups performance time, onset quality duration pulse rate, mean arterial pressure post-operative complication.Results: Duration surgery, success rate almost similar groups. time more as compared block. group. sensory blockade, well motor slightly earlier Hemodynemic parameters were also Our encounters higher number complications group.Conclusions: Supraclavicular route require less perform have a rapid but blockage route.
