Comparison of Conventional and Retroclavicular Approaches for Ultrasound-guided Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Conventional approach to infraclavicular block: Conventional approach to infraclavicular block will be performed on the patients using 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine 5ml of %2 lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.

Retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular block: Retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular block will be performed on the patients using 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine 5ml of %2 lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.

Study summary

Forearm and hand surgeries are among the most frequently performed surgical interventions both in trauma patients and electively.In these procedures, alternative anesthesia methods such as general anesthesia, regional intravenous anesthesia, regional peripheral nerve blocks and local anesthesia are available.

Peripheral nerve blockade can be used for anesthesia and analgesia.This method allows patients to undergo surgery without general anesthesia and increases patient satisfaction by providing effective analgesia in the postoperative period.

The aim of this study was to compare the conventional and retroclavicular approaches to infraclavicular block in patients undergoing forearm and hand surgery.

Eligibility
