the present study was designed to assess the efficacy of fentanyl and pancuronium combined with dilute lidocaine solution for axillary block. onehundred adult patients undergoing upper limb surgery were randomly allocated to receive either 0.6 ml/kg of 1 % lidocaine (6 mg/kg) or 0.6 mllkg of 0.5% lidocaine (3 mg/kg) with 1 µg/kg of fentanyl and 0.5 mg of pancuronium. the onset of sensory and mo...

The axillary brachial plexus block is the most widely performed upper limb block. It is relatively simple to perform and one of the safest approaches to brachial plexus block. With the advent of ultrasound technology, there is a marked improvement in the success rate of the axillary block. This review will focus on the technique of ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block.

OBJECTIVE To compare axillary brachial plexus block and Bier's block as methods of providing upper limb anaesthesia. METHODS Axillary brachial plexus or Bier's blocks were performed on all patients requiring upper limb anaesthesia in a three month period. For Bier's block, a single cuff tourniquet and 3 mg/kg 0.5% prilocaine were used. For axillary plexus block, 40 ml 1% lignocaine with adren...

the painful nature of fractures has made it inevitable to use various anesthetic techniques to reduce or immobilize fractured parts. in the present study, axillary nerve block was compared with intravenous midazolam/fentanyl to induce anesthesia for painless reduction of upper extremity fractures. the subjects in the present clinical trial consisted of 60 patients with upper extremity fractures...

OBJECTIVE Axillary plexus block is one of the widely used technique for upper extremity surgery. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the single injection axillary plexus block technique we used in our rutine anesthesia practice, between August 2010-March 2011. METHODS Medical records of ASA I-III, 40 17 female and 23 male patients who underwent elective single injection axillary block...
