Supraclavicular brachial plexus block using a nerve stimulator and an insulated needle.
A technique employing a nerve stimulator and an insulated needle was used for supraclavicular brachial plexus block in 71 patients using 0.5% plain bupivacaine 15-20 ml. The mean minimal stimulating current to produce paraesthesia was 0.09 mA. The plexus was identified at a mean depth of 27 mm below the skin. The block was successful in 98% of patients when the stimulation was felt in the index...
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 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 کاملA Comparative Study between Anatomical Landmark and Nerve Stimulator Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Neurovascular Variations in Topographic Anatomy of Brachial Plexus
A comparative study between anatomical landmark and nerve stimulator guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for neurovascular variations in topographic anatomy of brachial plexus. In the backdrop of our country, nerve stimulator is still not available in many centres and many anesthetists do not yet have the proper expertise and experience in giving nerve stimulator guided brachial plexus...
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...
