NCT03190551

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to compare needle shaft visibility between the retroclavicular approach and costoclavicular approach for infraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients undergoing elective upper limb surgery. Secondary aim is to investigate the differences between the two groups in sensorial block success rate, block performance time, block performance related pain, motor block success rate, surgical success rate, complications, patient satisfaction, use of supplemental local anesthetic, use of analgesic.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Needle shaft visibility

    Needle visibility reviewed by two anesthesiologists using a 5-point Likert scale

    10 minutes after the needle inserted the skin

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Technique duration

    Time required in seconds for the block completion (10 minutes)

  • Patient satisfaction using a visual analogue scale

    Assessed 24 hours after the block

  • supplemental analgesic used

    90 minutes after block completion

  • complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, intraarterial injection, intravenous injection

    24 hours

  • motor block success rate

    Assessed 40 minutes after block completion

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
