Brief summary

To compare the two different approaches of infraclavicular brachial plexus block in forearm, wrist and hand surgery in terms of perfusion index, tissue oxygenation, sensory and motor block onset time and total effect time, first analgesic time, side effects and complications, and duration of block application.

Interventions

Lateral sagittal approach for ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block

Costoclavicular approach for ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block
