The study evaluates a new approach to ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block using a supraclavicular parasagittal approach. Sixty outpatients scheduled for hand surgery were given brachial plexus block utilising the new approach. Time taken for block procedure was short and onset time for sensory block was rapid, using a low volume of local anaesthetic agent, with the volume de...

A 46-year-old woman with multiple myeloma presented with neurological symptoms in the right upper extremity. After MR imaging of the cervical spine failed to show the cause of her symptoms, Ga-67 scintigraphy demonstrated increased uptake in multiple areas including the right supraclavicular region and bilateral lower extremities. Histology of the specimen obtained from the left thigh proved so...

BACKGROUND Central venous catheterization is an important procedure for infant patients for a number of different purposes, including nutritional support, surgical operation, hemodynamic monitoring, and multiple lines for critical care medications. Subclavian vein catheterization (SVC) is one of the central vein catheterization techniques. SVC can be performed from 4 different locations: right ...

IntroductIon Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the monitored bilateral brachial plexus and peripheral nerve makes it possible to demonstrate the relationship of nerves to their surrounding landmark anatomy. Thoracic outlet anomalies compromise venous and lymphatic drainage in these patients and bilateral MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrate compression of the venous valves...

abstract background: adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-y fields for the treatment of hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. in each of these situations, there is a po...

Introduction: Supraclavicular brachial plexus block provides the optimal operating conditions for upper arm surgery. The study was conducted to assess efficacy of dexamethasone as an adjuvant bupivacaine in supraclavicular block. Methods: An experimental performed Gandaki Medical College and Teaching hospital, Pokhara. Forty patients undergoing surgery elbow, forearm, hand under block, with 0.2...
