Overview

May encourage selective ultrasound use in brachial plexus blocks as costs decline; leaves open need for RCTs confirming complication reductions.

Structured PICO

I
Intervention
Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus anesthesia

This review provides basic details of ultrasonographic technique for brachial plexus anesthesia, emphasizing anatomical knowledge and literature analysis.

Limitations

  • Costs of the ultrasound devices continue to limit widespread application

Cite This Study

DEANDR et al. (2002) conducted a review in Brachial plexus anesthesia. Ultrasound was evaluated. Ultrasound techniques for brachial plexus anesthesia are becoming increasingly attractive due to technological advancements and potential reductions in block complications, despite current cost limitations.
