Background: Brachial plexus block by the posterior approach described by Pippa is not
widely used in contrast to the lateral approach of Winnie. We compared the clinical efficacy …

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

It is with interest that we read the letter by Dr. Nadig and colleagues, 1 which was prompted
by the article of Vranken et al. 2 Over the past few years, we have gained extensive …

Background: Brachial plexus block via the axillary approach is problematic in patients with
limited arm mobility. In such cases, the infraclavicular approach may be a valuable …

Background: This prospective, randomized study compared the efficacy of the vertical
infraclavicular and axillary approaches using a single injection blockade of the brachial …

Background: Brachial plexus block by the coracoid approach does not require arm
abduction and may be more effective than the axillary approach because of a more proximal …

With the exception of central neural blockade, upper limb blocks are the most common
regional anaesthetic procedures performed. There are a variety of approaches to the …

Abstract Study Objectives: To study the safety and efficacy of the transarterial approach to
brachial plexus block with 60 to 70 ml of local anesthetic solution, and to compare the …

For the study, 81 patients were randomized to receive a brachial plexus blockade using the
IS or ISCM approach followed by general anesthesia for their surgical procedure …

Methods. Patients for upper extremity surgery (n= 508) received either an interscalene block
(n= 266) or an axillary block (n= 242). Surgical anesthesia was achieved in 97% of the …
