[Guidance of axillary multiple injection technique for plexus anesthesia : Ultrasound versus nerve stimulation.]
Ultrasound guidance is still a young method in regional anesthesia when compared to nerve stimulation and only a few studies exist comparing these two techniques in an axillary multiple injection approach. ⋯ Nerve stimulation-guided axillary plexus blocks performed by trained anesthesiologists may result in similar onset times and success rates compared to ultrasound-guided blocks.
