Ultrasound-guided costoclavicular vs. axillary brachial plexus block: A randomized clinical study.

Journal: Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology
Published Date: Nov 2, 2021

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Brachial plexus is in a very compact state at the costoclavicular space (CCS) when compared to the axilla, where the individual nerves are separate. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that brachial plexus block (BPB) at the CCS would result in a faster onset of block as compared to the axillary approach of BPB.
