Official title
Comparison of Conventional and Retroclavicular Approaches for Ultrasound-guided Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Obese Patients
Overview
Forearm and hand surgeries are among the most frequently performed surgical interventions both in trauma patients and electively.In these procedures, alternative anesthesia methods such as general anesthesia, regional intravenous anesthesia, regional peripheral nerve blocks and local anesthesia are available. Peripheral nerve blockade can be used for anesthesia and analgesia.This method allows patients to undergo surgery without general anesthesia and increases patient satisfaction by providing effective analgesia in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to compare the conventional and retroclavicular approaches to infraclavicular block in patients undergoing forearm and hand surgery.
Interventions
- Procedure Conventional approach to infraclavicular block
Conventional approach to infraclavicular block will be performed on the patients using 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine 5ml of %2 lidocaine under ultrasound guidance. - Procedure Retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular block
Retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular block will be performed on the patients using 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine 5ml of %2 lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.
Primary outcome measures
- Block Performance Time [Time frame: During regional anesthesia]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Pain Score [Time frame: Up to 24 hours]
- Patient Satisfaction [Time frame: 1 day]
Eligibility criteria

- Patients who are suitable for forearm and hand surgery under regional anesthesia in the operating room
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who cannot perceive and evaluate pain
- Patients who want to have surgery under general anesthesia
