Brief summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of supraclavicular brachial plexus block using perfusion index in pediatric patients undergoing Upper limb surgery.

Detailed description

The role of perfusion index in the prediction of peripheral block success was previously reported for infraclavicular brachial plexus block, axillary brachial plexus block, interscalene brachial plexus block, and supraclavicular brachial plexus in adult patients. The aim of the present study is to assess the effects of perfusion index on success of supraclavicular brachial plexus block in pediatric patients.
