Axillary Block Clinical Trial
Official title:
Descriptive Assessment of Practice in Anaesthesia : Lidocaine 1% Adrenaline Under in Axillary Block Realization
Axillary block is the good anesthetic technique for upper limb surgery without exceeding a
certain total dose injected of Local Anesthetic (AL).
The maximal recommended dose of Lidocaine adrenaline in the upper limb is 500 mg. The use of
ultrasound helps guiding the locoregional anesthesia, and allows to decrease the AL
concentration, thus decreasing the risks.
No previous study estimated a concentration of lidocaine lower than 1,5 % to realize upper
limb surgery by axillary block.
The literature overestimating probably the rate of failure of the locoregional anesthesia
under ultrasound-guidance, we suggest to estimate the rate of failure of the axillary block
ultrasound-guided with the lidocaine 1 % adrenaline for realizing upper limb surgery in
standard practice.
