Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparison between 1.5% lidocaine with adrenaline and 1.5% plain mepivacaine in axillary brachial plexus block].
To evaluate the distribution of sensory blockade, the onset time and the duration of the axillary plexus block obtained after the administration of 40 mL of 1.5% lignocaine with adrenaline or 40 mL of plain 1.5% mepivacaine. ⋯ Following axillary plexus block, 1.5% mepivacaine improves neither the extension nor the duration of sensory blockade achieved by 1.5% lignocaine with adrenaline.
