Key result
Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block in upper extremity surgeries provided sensory block for 618 ± 55 minutes and motor block for 450 ± 74 minutes, with minimal complications.
Why the study?
Ultrasound guidance has enhanced brachial plexus block practice, motivating an evaluation of its outcome and safety using supraclavicular and interscalene approaches in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh.
Population
113 patients undergoing upper extremity surgeries in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh

Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block using supraclavicular and interscalene approaches provides effective anesthesia and prolonged postoperative analgesia with minimal complications for upper extremity surgeries.
Ali et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Upper extremity surgeries (n=113). Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block was evaluated on Outcome and safety (duration of block, time to first analgesic, complications). Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block in upper extremity surgeries provided sensory block for 618 ± 55 minutes and motor block for 450 ± 74 minutes, with minimal complications.
