Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Efficacy of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block: a comparative study with nerve stimulator-guided method.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of axillary brachial plexus block using an ultrasound-guided method with the nerve stimulator-guided method. We also compared the efficacy of ultrasound-guided single-injection with those of double-injection for the quality of the block. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block, using either single- or double-injection technique, provided excellent sensory and motor blockades with fewer adverse events.
