چکیده

Ultrasonography has been used to demonstrate the anatomy of the axilla, to confirm the placement of a cannula and to visualize the spread of a local anaesthetic solution in the axillary sheath of 10 patients (aged 17-70 yr) for surgery of the forearm and hand. The block was successful in all subjects.

Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block.

BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve blocks are almost always performed as blind procedures. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of seeing individual nerves of the brachial plexus and directing the block needle to these nerves with real time imaging. METHODS Using ultrasound guidance, infraclavicular brachial plexus block was performed in 126 patients. Important aspects of this stand...

Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine as an Adjuvant to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block: a Randomised Double-blind Prospective Study

Objectives: Alpha-2-receptor agonist has been used as an additive to local anaesthetics for various regional anaesthetic techniques. We compared clonidine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anaesthetic agent in ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block with respect to hemodynamic parameters, onset and duration of sensory, motor block and duration of analgesia. Methods: Ultrasoun...

Axillary brachial plexus block: method of choice?

The first brachial plexus block is said to have been performed by William Halsted in 1884 [32], soon after Roller [13] had demonstrated the local anaesthetic properties of cocaine. He injected the drug under direct vision, after exposing the plexus using infiltration anaesthesia. The first percutaneous blocks were performed independently in 1911 by Hirschel [11] and Kulenkampff [14], using the ...

Distribution of local anesthetic in axillary brachial plexus block: a clinical and magnetic resonance imaging study.

BACKGROUND There is an unsettled discussion about whether the distribution of local anesthetic is free or inhibited when performing brachial plexus blocks. This is the first study to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help answer this question. METHODS Thirteen patients received axillary block by a catheter-nerve stimulator technique. After locating the median nerve, a total dose of 50 m...
