Summary

The supraclavicular block can provide effective surgical anesthesia of the forearm and hand. There have been many different approaches to ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (US-SCBPB) according to the needle injection site (e.g. corner pocket approach, cluster approach) or number of needling (single or double injection). Numerous studies demonstrates good results (e.g. faster onset time) when using double injections rather than single injection. But double injection does not guarantee complete sensory block because ulnar nerve tends to be spared by its anatomical location.

Conditions

  • Radius Fractures

Interventions

DEVICE

stimuplex insulated needle

2P2I group: nerve stimulating needle is advanced twice with the up-down direction at the different puncture site and LA is injected 15 mL at a time. 1P2I group: nerve stimulating needle is advanced twice with the up-down direction at the same puncture site and LA is injected 15 mL at a time.

DRUG

lidocaine mixed with epinephrine

2P2I group and 1P2I group use the same LA (1.5% lidocaine mixed with 1:200,000 epinephrine). But 2P2I group is injected LA at equally divided doses (15 mL at a time) with the up-down direction at the different puncture site. 1P2I group is injected LA at equally divided doses with the up-down direction at the same puncture site.
