Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Success rate of costoclavicular brachial plexus block | Within 45 minutes of completion of block placement | Determine the success rate of the block in patients with body mass index greater than 30. Assess the effectiveness of the block by performing required assessments |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identification of costoclavicular space | during placement of the block | Describe how the costoclavicular space and its contents are easily identifiable in patients with a body mass index greater than 30. Identify the costoclavicular space by using ultrasound |
