| Summary: | Infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICB) is commonly used in upper extremity surgeries with ultrasonography guidance (USG). In recent years the use of ultrasonography improved the application of peripheral nerve block with easily monitoring the distribution of injected local anesthetic (LA) by detecting nerve localization, visualization of vascular structures and pleural border, visually controlling the needle tip and dissemination of the injected LA. We aimed to share our experiences of USGICB for upper extremity surgeries and decreasing LA volume as physicians experience increased in years. |
