Awake hand surgery under ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block is possible for cooperative children.

Ultrasound Guided Infraclavicular Block for Pain Control After Upper Extremity Surgery

Background: Opioids added to local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks may intensify analgesia and prolong analgesic and sensorial block duration. These agents may also cause potentiation and prolongation of motor block. Objective: This study compared the postoperative effects of 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine +50 mcg fentanyl and 30 mL of 0.25% bupivaca...

مقایسه نتایج روش تزریق منفرد با روش چند تزریقی در ایجاد بی‌حسی منطقه‌ای اینفراکلاویکولار با هدایت اولتراسونوگرافی در بیماران تحت اعمال جراحی اندام فوقانی

Aim and Background: Nowadays, ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block has led to impressive results in improving upper extremity anesthesia and patient satisfaction.The aim of this study was to compare the results of infraclavicular block as single injection versus multiple injectons in upper extremity surgery. Methods and Materials: In this randomized clinical trial, patients undergoing upp...

Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia: Ultrasound Guided Axillary Nerve Block versus Ultrasound Guided Infraclavicular Nerve Block: A Comparison Study for the Lower Third of the Upper Limb Surgery (Initial Study)

Ultrasound Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Catheter in a Patient with Severe Hemophilia

Ultrasound-guidance may help anesthesiologists to perform regional anesthesia in special situations. Bigeleisen reported an uncomplicated infraclavicular block under ultrasound guidance, in a patient having received 5000 U of heparin 2 h before the block [1]. Even if a recent report reminds us that vascular puncture remains still possible during ultrasound guided nerve blocks [2], cases have re...

[Ultrasound-guided continuous infraclavicular block for hand surgery: technical report arm position for perineural catheter placement].

BACKGROUND Continuous perineural infusion of local anesthetic provides better postoperative analgesia than intravenous administration of opioids or NSAIDs in upper limb surgery. The infraclavicular approach is a good option due to the muscular stability to catheter; the abduction of the arm apparently makes more superficial the brachial plexus and which elevates clavicle cephalad. AIM The aim...
