Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A method of blocking the brachial plexus using an infraclavicular approach is described. Compared with the supraclavicular approach, pulmonary complications do not occur and compared with the axillary approach a higher level of analgesia can be obtained and a potentially septic area is not traversed. However, the level of anaesthesia is at a lower level than that obtained from the supraclavicular approach.
