Overview

Observational study reports block adequacy and analgesia duration in upper extremity surgeries, highlighting effectiveness of local anesthetic mixtures.

Key Points

  • The adequacy of brachial plexus block was highest with specific anesthetic mixtures, reaching up to 96%.
  • Postoperative analgesia time varied significantly between groups, with group I lasting over 660 minutes.
  • Complications were minimal, with only two cases of vascular punctures noted, with no significant consequences.
  • The infraclavicular approach proved effective, highlighting important results regarding local anesthetic choices.
