Comparison of the Transarterial Axillary Block and the Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Block for Upper Extremity Surgery

Abstract

There is no significant difference between the 2 techniques in terms of adequacy for surgery and subjective postoperative dysesthesias. The ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block is associated with greater patient comfort and willingness to undergo the same anesthetic when compared with the transarterial axillary block.
