Efficacy of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block: a comparative study with nerve stimulator-guided method.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of axillary brachial plexus block using an ultrasound-guided method with the nerve stimulator-guided method. We also compared the efficacy of ultrasound-guided single-injection with those of double-injection for the quality of the block. METHODS Ninety patients scheduled for surgery of the forearm or hand were randomly allocated int...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block.
UNLABELLED In this study, we evaluated state-of-the-art ultrasound technology for supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in 40 outpatients. Ultrasound imaging was used to identify the brachial plexus before the block, guide the block needle to reach target nerves, and visualize the pattern of local anesthetic spread. Needle position was further confirmed by nerve stimulation before injection. T...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Techniques in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: Conventional Blind, Nerve Stimulator Guided, and Ultrasound Guided
Introduction: In recent years, real-time ultrasonographic guidance has been introduced for peripheral nerve blocks, which is rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly more useful in the field of regional anesthesia. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the three techniques of brachial plexus block. Trial design: This was a prospective, randomized clinical trial. Materials and Method...
متن کاملA Comparative Study between Anatomical Landmark and Nerve Stimulator Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Neurovascular Variations in Topographic Anatomy of Brachial Plexus
A comparative study between anatomical landmark and nerve stimulator guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for neurovascular variations in topographic anatomy of brachial plexus. In the backdrop of our country, nerve stimulator is still not available in many centres and many anesthetists do not yet have the proper expertise and experience in giving nerve stimulator guided brachial plexus...
متن کاملSupraclavicular brachial plexus block using a nerve stimulator and an insulated needle.
A technique employing a nerve stimulator and an insulated needle was used for supraclavicular brachial plexus block in 71 patients using 0.5% plain bupivacaine 15-20 ml. The mean minimal stimulating current to produce paraesthesia was 0.09 mA. The plexus was identified at a mean depth of 27 mm below the skin. The block was successful in 98% of patients when the stimulation was felt in the index...
