Infraclavicular block is one of the peripheral nerve block used in upper extremity surgery. Adjuvant agents are used in peripheral nerve blocks to increase the duration and block quality. We investigated that the effects of patient-controlled perineural dexmedetomidine application on postoperative analgesia.
