Many thanks for this great video content. Any plans to do a video on axillary brachial plexus block? Pretty widespread where I am.. would be very much welcomed.
What is your opinion on costoclavicular approach (transverse/oblique probe position slightly lateral in order to visualize subclavian artery diving towards the axilla)? It seems to mitigate problem with needle tip visualization. Excellent work.
great video but why not go more proximally where all cords still run together? especially since you are one of the few people recommending 90degree arm abduction?
Excellent content as always! Could you confirm or dispel a myth at my facility....many anesthesia staff where I work have declared infraclav inferior to supraclav...stating it does not provide as much coverage for tourniquet pain (whether icbn block is added or not). I have never seen evidence supporting this claim. Could you clarify?! Thanks!
They didn’t have good ultrasounds back then. You got an axillary nerve block which when done blind is easier and safer than this block because you can find the nerves by puncturing the axillary artery (you see red, you’re in the artery). We aren’t blind anymore--ultrasound opened our eyes.
