Background We recently showed that the novel combination of a superficial cervical plexus
block, a suprascapular nerve block, and the lateral sagittal infraclavicular brachial plexus …

Background and Objectives The posterior approach to the brachial plexus remains
underused. We assessed the clinical effectiveness of this technique for shoulder surgery …

Background Interscalene brachial plexus block is currently the gold standard for intra‐and
post‐operative pain management for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery …

Background Regional anaesthesia for upper limb surgery is routinely performed with
brachial plexus blocks. A retroclavicular brachial plexus block has recently been described …

Background: Ropivacaine is less cardiotoxic than bupivacaine and may be used in higher
doses in order to increase the quality of a block. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Objective We hypothesized that ultrasound (US)-guided technique of the supra-and
infraclavicular and axillary approaches of brachial plexus block (BPB) will produce a high …

Background and Objectives. Although ropivacaine has been extensively studied for epidural
anesthesia, very few reports exist on brachial plexus block. We therefore decided to …

We aimed to examine to what extent a lateral infraclavicular brachial plexus block affected
the axillary and the suprascapular nerve. We included patients undergoing hand surgery …

Abstract Editor's Perspective What We Already Know about This Topic Interscalene nerve
block is commonly used for shoulder surgery for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia …

IMPLICATIONS: We have compared infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICB) with humeral
block. Efficacy and anesthetic time were not significantly different, although time to perform …
