Conditions
Keywords
lateral sagittal approach, costoclavicular approach, block success, perfusion index, brachial plexus
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

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| perfusion index | up to motor block scale ≥3 | the effect of the block on the perfusion index |
| tissue oxygenation | up to motor block scale ≥3 | the effect of the block on the tissue oxygenation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| motor block onset time | Assessed 40 minutes after block completion | quality of motor block scale ≥2 |
| sensorial block onset time | up to 24 hours | quality of sensorial block scale ≥2 |
| complications | up to 24 hours | block related complications such as pneumothorax, vascular injury, local anesthetic systemic toxicity |
| duration of block application | during the intervention | from the needle puncture to the end of the local anesthetic injection |
