Two different approaches for infraclavicular block

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2022/11/047078
• Lead Sponsor: Vydehi institute of medical science

Brief Summary

In Infraclavicular brachial plexus block through paracoracoid approach, the block is performed at the lateral infraclavicular fossa where the cords are variable in position relative to axillary artery. All 3 cords of brachial plexus are separated from one another in this approach and may not be seen in single ultrasound window. Whereas in costoclavicular approach, the cords in the costoclavicular space are relatively superficial, clustered together and arranged in a triangular shape. In costoclavicular space all the 3 cords of brachial plexus can be identified in single transverse sonogram making it better suited for the successful use of ultrasound to perform brachial plexus block. This study is conducted to compare, the block onset time, block related pain scores
