2018年9月16日 · Most common patterns of nerve location around the axillary artery in ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block. From the Compendium of Regional Anesthesia: Cognitive priming for an axillary brachial plexus block.

2018年6月23日 · Brachial plexus block at the level of the axilla is typically chosen for anesthesia of the distal upper limb. The axillary block is one of the most common approaches to brachial plexus block. Easy landmarks and simplicity make this …

2019年8月7日 · Axillary blockade can reliably anesthetize the median, ulnar, and radial nerves but not the other branches that exit from the brachial plexus and its sheath more proximally.

2023年6月20日 · The axillary approach to the brachial plexus nerve block was first described by Dr. Halstead et al. in 1884. Before the prevalence of ultrasound, its superficial location and low risk of complications, such as pneumothorax, made it a useful block for outpatient hand surgery.

The axillary block is a peripheral nerve block performed in the axilla and anesthetizes the terminal branches of the brachial plexus (figure 1). Axillary blocks are used for anesthesia and/or analgesia for surgery of forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers.

It is possible to block the intercostobrachial nerve separately using ultrasound. Ultrasound guided axillary block is a safe, reliable block of the brachial plexus. Place the transducer transversely across the axilla, approximately at the junction of biceps brachii and the pectorialis muscles.

2023年5月27日 · Axillary Nerve Block. The axillary nerve block is performed at the level of the branches of the brachial plexus and is most useful for procedures involving the forearm. Place the ultrasound probe in the patient's axilla to locate the axillary artery in a cross-sectional view, appearing as a circle.
