2018年9月16日 · Three muscles surround the neurovascular bundle: the biceps (anterior and superficial), the wedge-shaped coracobrachialis (anterior and deep), and the conjoined tendon of the teres major and latissimus dorsi (medial and posterior).

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 …

2023年6月20日 · Pertinent surface anatomy landmark for nerve stimulator-based techniques is the pulse of the axillary artery just distal to the pectoralis major near the anterior axillary wall. Superior to this point, one can identify the coracobrachialis muscle for the associated musculocutaneous nerve block.

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.

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.

The axillary block aims to block the terminal branches of the brachial plexus which include the median, ulnar, radial and musculocutaneous nerves. The musculocutaneous nerve often departs from the lateral cord in the proximal axilla and is commonly spared by the axillary approach.

Axillary nerve block is a safe and effective regional anaesthetic technique suitable for a wide variety of procedures, for both inpatient and outpatient care [27–32]. Ultrasound guidance has allowed improved efficacy with smaller volumes of local anaesthetic.

Axillary Nerve Block Anatomy Diagram. The axillary brachial plexus block is a vital regional anesthesia technique, particularly for surgeries involving the upper limb, such as the elbow, forearm, and hand. This procedure specifically targets the terminal branches of the brachial plexus within the axilla, ensuring comprehensive analgesia and

An axillary block is a type of nerve block that involves injecting medication around the nerves in the axilla (armpit) to numb the arm and hand. This procedure can be used for various purposes, such as providing anesthesia for surgery or relieving pain in the arm.

2017年1月8日 · The axillary brachial plexus block is one of the most commonly used regional anesthesia techniques. The proximity of the terminal nerves of the brachial plexus to the axillary artery makes identification of the landmarks consistent (axillary artery) equally for both the nerve stimulator and surface-based ultrasound-guided techniques.
