Key result
The combination of spinal anesthesia and USG-guided low-dose bilateral infraclavicular block provided effective intraoperative anesthesia and 3-4 hours of postoperative analgesia without complications in a patient with severe burns and a difficult airway.
Case Report (n=1)
No
A case report describing the combination of spinal anesthesia and USG-guided low-dose bilateral infraclavicular block in a patient with a difficult airway.
May offer an alternative in burn patients with difficult airways; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
Brachial plexus blockade is commonly used in upper extremity surgery because it causes a good effective intraoperative cooperation anesthesia and analgesia. When performed under USG guidance, it has high success and low complication rate.

Hakan Akelma (2019) conducted a case report in Multiple extremity burns and difficult airway (n=1). Spinal anesthesia and USG-guided low-dose bilateral infraclavicular block was evaluated on Intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. The combination of spinal anesthesia and USG-guided low-dose bilateral infraclavicular block provided effective intraoperative anesthesia and 3-4 hours of postoperative analgesia without complications in a patient with severe burns and a difficult airway.
