Comparison of low volume high concentration of local anesthetic with high volume low concentration local anesthetic for supraclavicular block
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Regional anesthesia in form of brachial plexus block is a common and reliable mode of anesthesia for upper limb blocks. By virtue of anatomy of brachial plexus supraclavicular approach for brachial plexus is one of favourite approach for upper limb surgeries. In our study we randomised 40 patients undergoing elective upper limb surgeries into two group of 20 each. Group H received high volume of low concentration of local anesthetic agent and Group L received low volume of high concentration local anesthetic agents. The patients in Group H had slower onset of block, quicker recovery from block and lower consumption of local anesthetic agent when compared to patients in Group L.
