comparison of two different volumes of local anaesthetic drug for usg guided axillary brachial plexus block in hand and forearm surgeries

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the minimal effective newlinevolume of local anaesthetic drug for a successful ultrasound guided newlineaxillary brachial plexus block. Here we compared 15ml versus 20ml newlineof 0.5% levobupivacine. newline newlinePrimary objectives: newlineCompare the following for the given volume of local anesthetic newlinedrug, newline1) Onset of motor block newline2) Onset of sensory block newline3) Duration of motor block newline4) Duration of sensory block newline5) Requirement of rescue individual nerve block newline6) Duration of analgesia newline newlineSecondary objectives: newlineTo find the lowest possible effective volume of local anaesthetic newlineCost effectiveness newline
