Clinical Trial: Periarterial Injection Versus Multiple Periveural Injection
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: The Ultrasound Guided Periarterial Injection Technique To Axilary Brachial Plexus Block Versus Perineural Multiple InjectionTechnique
Brief Summary: In the transarterial technique for axillary brachial plexus block, the axillary artery is intentionally punctured to indicate placement of the needle within the neurovascular sheath; local anesthetic is then injected deep and superficial to the axillary artery.
Detailed Summary: To lessen the risk for hematoma and intravascular injection, several modifications, such as the multi-injection perineural technique, have become popular. These techniques require a high degree of technical skill and multiple needle passes, and also carry potential for injury. In this study, the investigators will compare an ultrasound-guided equivalent of the transarterial technique (periarterial injections) to a commonly used multi-injection perineural technique.
