Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia for upper limb surgery.

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 Percutaneous Medial Pinning of Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures to Avoid Ulnar Nerve Injury.

Background:  Medial pinning is one of the most controversial aspects of the surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures (SHF) owing to the risk of ulnar nerve injury.  Aim: To evaluate the safety and usefulness of medial pinning for SHF using ultrasound imaging for ulnar nerve visualization.   Methods: Fifteen children, with a mean age of 60 months, with displaced SHF were treated with a cros...

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 supraclavicular brachial plexus block in pediatric patients -A report of four cases-

Supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks are not common in pediatric patients due to the risk of pneumothorax. Ultrasonography is an important tool for identifying nerves during regional anesthesia. Directly visualizing the target nerves and monitoring the distribution of the local anesthetic are potentially significant. In addition, ultrasound monitoring helps avoid complications, such as inadve...

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

In recent years, brachial plexus anesthesia techniques for upper limb surgery have been used more and more commonly on children; however, the patient is typically under deep sedation or general anesthesia. For eligible, cooperative children, surgery can also be performed using regional blocks while the patient is awake. We present 5 cases in which Ultrasound (US)-guided infraclavicular brachial...
