NCT01927289 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 14

Last updated 2013-08-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a double-blind prospective randomized control trial. The primary hypothesis is that the preservation of motor function is superior in distal forearm blocks compared to supraclavicular block. The secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction, surgeon's satisfaction, rate of block success, onset and duration of block.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Mobility

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Proximal Brachial Plexus vs Distal Forearm Block

Proximal Brachial plexus block: 15 mls saline injected in distal forearm nerve block and 15 mls of 1.5% Mepivacaine injected to the brachial plexus via the supraclavicular approach. Distal forearm block: 15 mls 1.5% Mepivacaine injected in distal forearm nerve block and 15 mls of saline injected to the brachial plexus via the supraclavicular approach
