Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block

In this video we discuss the anatomy, sonoanatomy, indications, and technique for the ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block

Love me a good infraclav! Great video!

[@mccoywang6671]

great vedio, I've did several hundreds of infraclavicular brachial plexus block, it's great.

[@GeneCircuit]

been waiting on your video about infraclav for awhile, excellent thank you! Now i'm waiting on you guys to do a Costoclavicular block video :)

Many thanks for this great video content. Any plans to do a video on axillary brachial plexus block? Pretty widespread where I am.. would be very much welcomed.

Many thanks for informative video.

Amazing illustration

What is your opinion on costoclavicular approach (transverse/oblique probe position slightly lateral in order to visualize subclavian artery diving towards the axilla)? It seems to mitigate problem with needle tip visualization. Excellent work.

Excellent content as always! Could you confirm or dispel a myth at my facility....many anesthesia staff where I work have declared infraclav inferior to supraclav...stating it does not provide as much coverage for tourniquet pain (whether icbn block is added or not). I have never seen evidence supporting this claim. Could you clarify?! Thanks!

@@regionalanesthesiology Thanks so much for the feedback. Keep up the great work!

great video but why not go more proximally where all cords still run together? especially since you are one of the few people recommending 90degree arm abduction?

[@stomaccount1]

Is there a risk of damaging the lateral of posterior cord with the needle because of suboptimal visualisation of the cords?

Check out this video goes to fascia iliaca?!

20 years ago, I got a shot in my armpit. Why the change?

They didn’t have good ultrasounds back then. You got an axillary nerve block which when done blind is easier and safer than this block because you can find the nerves by puncturing the axillary artery (you see red, you’re in the artery). We aren’t blind anymore--ultrasound opened our eyes.
