Comparison of costoclavicular with infraclavicular block for upper limb surgeries: A meta-analysis
Key Points
To compare the onset time of costoclavicular and infraclavicular nerve blocks in upper limb surgeries.
Conducted a meta-analysis of available studies
Analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
Compared block onset times of both techniques
Costoclavicular block may have a shorter onset time than infraclavicular block
Findings require confirmation through additional RCTs
Abstract
Costoclavicular nerve block may need shorter block onset time for upper limb surgeries compared to infraclavicular nerve block, but more RCTs were needed to confirm these findings.
