PROCEDURE

Infraclavicular Block with Dexmedetomidine and Dexamethasone

Infraclavicular block with Dexmedetomidine and Dexamethasone was performed at least 30 min before the start of the operation. The patient was positioned in a supine position arms at the sides or in 90 degree abduction, head turned to the other side. Infraclavicular block was performed with the lateral sagittal technique, while the USG probe was placed under the clavicle and medial to the coracoid process, providing a brachial plexus image in the form of a hyperechoic outer ring and hypoechoic circles, like a classic honeycomb image. A local anesthetic mixture was injected with a 100 mm block needle with negative aspiration and its spread in tissue planes was observed. If the VAS score was 3 or above, tramadol 1 mg kg-1 was administered as an analgesic drug.
