Evolution of ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus blockade: retrospective analysis of 662 blocks.
2008
Purpose: Ultrasound (US) is being used increasingly to guide needle placement during axillary brachial plexus blockade (AXB). This retrospective study investigated whether US guidance can increase the success rate, decrease block onset time, and reduce local anesthetic (LA) volume for AXB compared to a traditional (TRAD) approach, namely, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and transarterial (TA) techniques.
