Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efcacy of supraclavicular perivascular technique and vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block, using nerve locator for below elbow surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty patients of ASA grade I or II of either sex undergoing below elbow surgeries (mostly orthopedic surgeries) were randomly allocated into group S and group I. Each group comprises of 40 patients. Surgery was done under Vertical Infraclavicular approach of Brachial plexus Block in Group I Supraclavicular perivascular approach of Brachial plexus block in GroupS. RESULTS:The supraclavicular perivascular technique and vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block, using nerve locator for below elbow surgeries to evaluate the Ease of technique ,Time taken for the onset of sensory and motor blockade ,Total duration of sensory and motor blockade and Occurrence of complications statistically showed no signicant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION:Nerve locator guided Infraclavicular block of brachial plexus is similar to nerve locator guided supraclavicular block in the form of ease of technique, onset and duration of sensory & motor blockade and on complication rate.
