Abstract
We performed brachial plexus block under color doppler echo-guided using a nerve stimurator (axillary approach) on five patients. We used ultrasound (10 MHz transducers) and nerve stimurator, avoiding nerve injury and intravascular injection.
General anesthesia was required in one patient for radial nerve pain.
We recommend color doppler echo-guided brachial plexus block using a nerve stimurator for hand surgeries.
