Standard approaches for upper extremity nerve blocks with an emphasis on outpatient surgery.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Currently, no standards exist with regard to the techniques and administration of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks. Consequently, the techniques and teaching substantially vary among practitioners and institutions. The purpose of this review is to propose a set of standard US-guided techniques for upper extremity nerve blocks. RECENT FINDINGS On the basis of the syn...

Background and aims: Infraclavicular nerve block (ICNB) is one of the most efficacious peripheral nerve blocks for upper extremity procedures, associated with several potential complications. Recently, some authors have recommended ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block for ICNB. The current study is aimed to compare the outcomes of ICNB utilizing combined ultrasound guidance and neurostimula...
متن کاملREGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Concomitant infraclavicular plus distal median, radial, and ulnar nerve blockade accelerates upper extremity anaesthesia and improves block consistency compared with infraclavicular block alone
Editor’s key points † The hypothesis tested was that the addition of distal nerve blocks to an infraclavicular block would speed up onset. † Infraclavicular block with or without distal blocks of the median, ulnar, and radial nerves were compared using the same total dose of local anaesthetic. † A more rapid onset and more consistent block occurred in the combined group. Background. This prospe...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block vs procedural sedation for the treatment of upper extremity emergencies.
BACKGROUND Emergency physicians often treat patients who require procedural sedation for the management of upper extremity fractures, dislocations, and abscesses (upper extremity emergencies). Unfortunately, procedural sedation is associated with several rare but potentially serious adverse effects and requires continuous hemodynamic monitoring and several dedicated staff members. The purpose o...
متن کاملUltrasound Guidance for Deep Peripheral Nerve Blocks: A Brief Review
Nerve stimulation and ultrasound have been introduced to the practice of regional anesthesia mostly in the last two decades. Ultrasound did not gain as much popularity as the nerve stimulation until a decade ago because of the simplicity, accuracy and portability of the nerve stimulator. Ultrasound is now available in most academic centers practicing regional anesthesia and is a popular tool am...
