“Eyeball test” of thermographic patterns for predicting a successful lateral infraclavicular block

Ultrasound guided lateral sagital infraclavicular block for pectoral flap release.

Ultrasound may provide effective guidance during nerve blocks in cases where nerve stimulation is not feasible for various reasons. We describe a 28-year-old, ASA physical status I, male patient who was operated for pectoral flap release under lateral sagittal infraclavicular block. Using ultrasound guidance alone, total volume of 30 ml of local anesthetic mixture (15 ml of levobupivacaine 5 mg...

[Anatomical basis for infraclavicular brachial plexus block].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study shows the constant infraclavicular fossa presence, aiming at using it as a pathway for infraclavicular brachial plexus block. Determining the point where brachial plexus fascicles may be located within the fossa, the authors have proposed measurements from the anterior surface of the clavicle and the angle formed by the deltoid muscle and the clavicle (delto...

A comparison of two techniques for ultrasound guided infraclavicular block.

BACKGROUND There is some debate about the proper site and arm position and the direction of the needle for the performance of ultrasound guided infraclavicular block. METHODS Using ultrasound, we compared the ease and success rate of a medial or a lateral approach to the brachial plexus for performing infraclavicular block in two groups of patients (n=202). The proximity of the needle to the ...
