Research Article: Neuropathies Following an Ultrasound-Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block
Introduction:
A brachial plexus block (BPB) is used for effective perioperative analgesia in a wide range of procedures involving the upper extremities and can be performed through four approaches, namely interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary. Currently, the ultrasound (US)-guided method is the most used when performing BPBs and is superior to methods such as the landmark and nerve stimulation (NS) in terms of an improved success rate, a shorter time for peak effect, and a lower incidence of vascular…
