Background Interscalene block provides optimal shoulder surgery analgesia, but concerns
over its associated risks have prompted the search for alternatives. Suprascapular block was …

Background This randomized trial compared ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) and
costoclavicular brachial plexus block (CCB) for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We …

The supraclavicular block (SCB) and the infraclavicular block (ICB) are introduced to meet
upper extremity surgery, where the transducer or the insertion point is placed superiorly and …

Visualization of the nerve structures of brachial plexus allows anesthesiologists to use a
lower dose of local anesthetics. The content of this low dose is not unequivocal …

Background This randomized trial aimed to evaluate combined infraclavicular-
suprascapular blocks (ICB-SSBs) as a diaphragm-sparing alternative to interscalene blocks …

Background and Objectives It has recently been proposed that an infraclavicular brachial
plexus block (BPB) at the costoclavicular (CC) space may overcome some of the limitations …

Background Hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, a frequent complication of the brachial plexus
block performed above the clavicle, is rarely associated with an infraclavicular approach …

Background and Objectives This dose-finding study aimed to determine the minimum
effective volume in 90% of patients (MEV90) of lidocaine 1.5% with epinephrine 5 μg/mL for …

Background The costoclavicular approach targets the brachial plexus in the proximal
infraclavicular fossa, where the lateral, medial, and posterior cords are tightly bundled …

Background and objectives The costoclavicular brachial plexus block is performed deep and
posterior to the midpoint of the clavicle. There are limited data evaluating the spread of the …
