Retroclavicular Approach vs Infraclavicular Approach for Brachial Plexus Block in Obese Patients

Summary

The retroclavicular approach for brachial plexus anesthesia requires an optimal angle between the needle and the ultrasound beam. Retroclavicular approach has already been proven effective and safe in the past. The general objective is to provide a formal comparison between the retroclavicular approach and coracoid infraclavicular approach for brachial plexus anaesthesia. This study should represent the differences between the two techniques.
