Comparison of 0.5% ropivacaine and 0.5% levobupivacaine for infraclavicular brachial plexus block.
A prospective randomized double-blind study was conducted which involved, 60 ASA 1-2, aged 18-65 years patients, who had elective or emergency orthopaedic surgeries of the upper limbs. They were randomly divided into two groups: Group I received 30 mls of 0.5% ropivacaine; and Group II received 0.5% levobupivacaine for infraclavicular brachial plexus block based on the coracoid approach. The on...
متن کاملA comparison of infraclavicular and supraclavicular approaches to the brachial plexus using neurostimulation
BACKGROUND A prospective, double blind study was performed to compare the clinical effect of vertical infraclavicular and supraclavicular brachial plexus block using a nerve stimulator for upper limb surgery. METHODS One hundred patients receiving upper limb surgery under infraclavicular or supraclavicular brachial plexus block were enrolled in this study. The infraclavicular brachial plexus ...
متن کاملEffects of increasing the dose of ropivacaine on vertical infraclavicular block using neurostimulation
BACKGROUND Use of an infraclavicular block is appropriate for surgery of the upper limb. However, it does not consistently block the entire brachial plexus. The aim of this study was to investigate whether increasing the dose of ropivacaine could enhance the success rate, onset time, and efficacy of the sensory and motor block during the use of a vertical infraclavicular block using neurostimul...

Objectives: Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and infraclavicular blocks are commonly used for upper extremity surgery. The primary aims of our study were to compare block success, block onset times and performance times; secondary aims were to compare the number of needle advancements, and incidence of adverse events of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular or infraclavicular blocks. Methods: 110 ...
متن کاملClinical comparisons of 0.5% and 0.375% levobupivacaine for ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block with nerve stimulation
BACKGROUND In an axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB), where relatively large doses of local anesthetics are administered, levobupivacaine is preferred due to a greater margin of safety. However, the efficacy of levobupivacaine in ABPB has not been studied much. We performed a prospective, double-blinded study to compare the clinical effect of 0.375% levobupivacaine with 0.5% levobupivacaine f...
