Clinical Trial Summary

Current best practice for performance of infraclavicular block dictates the use of a dual-endpoint nerve stimulation technique that still only results in a 79% success rate. Use of an ultrasound-guided technique has the potential to significantly improve success. A randomized, controlled study to evaluate this area remains to be performed and is required to demonstrate to anesthesiologists that an ultrasound-guided approach should supersede nerve stimulation as the technique of choice for infraclavicular block.
