Brief summary

Perpheral nerve blocks are known to induce many changes in the local circulation such as vasodilation. We use the ultrasound-doppler to show and quantify the variations of the regional hemodynamics of the upper arm after an infraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Interventions

1. No pre-medication 2. Standard monitoring: ECG, non invasive blood pressure, oxymetry. 3. Peripheral venous cannulation 4. Ultrasound guided infraclavicular block using 15 ml lidocaine 2% + 15 ml bupivacaine 0.5% with a triple point injection The duration of each procedure is approximately 15 minutes
