Ultrasound-Guided Axillary or Infraclavicular Nerve Block for Upper Limb Surgery
RandomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindTreatment
Summary
This study aims to detect differences in onset time of brachial plexus (i.e., arm) anesthesia using two different nerve block techniques. Using ultrasound guidance, axillary (i.e., at the armpit) and infraclavicular (i.e., below the collarbone) blocks will be performed to patients undergoing upper limb surgery. The investigators will analyze how long it takes for anesthesia to be adequate for pain-free surgery, thus determine the optimal technique for this kind of surgery.
