Anatomy<br \/>In the infraclavicular plane the cords of the brachial plexus surround the axillary<br \/>artery and lie medial to the coracoid process of the scapula; the lateral cord is<br \/>cephalad and lateral to the artery, the posterior cord is posterior to the artery, and the<br \/>middle cord posterior and medial to the artery. The axillary vein lies medial to the<br \/>artery.<\/p>\n<p>4. Technique<br \/>The patient lies supine with shoulders in neutral position and the arm first lying at<br \/>the side, then abducted and flexed at the elbow.<br \/>Use a&nbsp;linear high-frequency probe with 10-12 MHz. For smaller patients, if possible,<br \/>use a&nbsp;small footprint linear probe (25 mm). If required, identify the nerves using the<br \/>nerve stimulator: common response to neurostimulator is the forearm and hand<br \/>contraction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.euroespa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/INFRACLAVICULAR-BLOCK_ESPA.pdf\">Please review the full article here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INFRACLAVICULAR BLOCKAuthor: Valeria Mossetti1.
