Comparison of Supraclavicular or Infraclavicular or Axillary Blocks Accompanied by Ultrasonography and Nerve Stimulator for Upper Extremity Surgery

Abstract

Supraclavicular (SC), infraclavicular (IC) and axillary (Ax) brachial plexus blocks can be applied for upper extremity surgeries. In this study, we aimed to compare the infraclavicular or supraclavicular or axillary block types using a combination of fentanyl and 0.5% bupivacaine, accompanied by USG and nerve stimulator.

Üst Ekstremite Cerrahisi İçin Ultrasonografi Ve Sinir Stimülatörü Eşliğinde Yapılan Supraklavikuler-İnfraklavikuler-Axiller Blokların Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Üst ekstremite cerrahisi için supraklavikuler (IC), infraklaviküler (SC) ve aksiller (Ax) brakiyal pleksus blokları uygulanabilir. Bu çalışmada USG ve sinir stimülatörü eşliğinde, fentanyl ve %0.5 bupivakain kombinasyonu kullanarak infraklavikuler, supraklavikuler ve aksiller blok türlerini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.
