Filter by:Peripheral nerve blocks with use of USG allowed visualisation of the structures and nerves and made the block administrations safe, quick and comfortable. However there are few publications concerning the minimum local anesthetic volume capable of providing blocks. In this study the investigastors aimed to find Minimum Effective Volume Of Local Anesthetic For Ultrasound-Guided İnfraclavicular Approach for Brachial Plexus Blockade in upper limb operations.
Background Peripheral nerve blocks with use of USG allowed visualisation of the structures and nerves and made the block administrations safe, quick and comfortable. However there are few publications concerning the minimum local anesthetic volume capable of providing blocks. In this study the investigastors aimed to find Minimum Effective Volume Of Local Anesthetic For Ultrasound-Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block in hand, elbow and forehand operations. Materials & Methods A total of 55 ASA I-II patients underwent hand surgery operation by administering USG guided-axillary brachial plexus blockage were included in the study. Ulnar, median and radial nerves were seen and the minimum effective local anesthetic volume was investigated starting with total 21 ml of %0.5 bupivacain. After accomplishing the blockage, volume was decreased by 0.5 for each nerves. Block administration time, block onset times, anesthesia times and time to first analgesic requirement were recorded.
