Axillary Brachial Plexus Block

In this video we describe the anatomy, sonoanatomy, technique and tips/tricks for performing ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block
Also..if you want to learn about how to block that pesky intercostobrachial nerve easily, here's a link to that video: • Ultrasound and Landmar...

My tip: start with the musculocutaneous nerve to prevent that some patients might move or pull away their forearm while you are hydrodissecting the other nerves.

This is really helpful for me. You summarized this block very effectively which is why I can do it easily.

How do u manouvre needle avoiding the veins

[@shivanaramsingh6940]

O: your images are so clear! What type of probe do you use?

[@gabriellane8276]

And which machine?

Another great video! awesome

So my frustration is that neither supraclavicular nor axillary block provide a reliable block for ulnar nerve transposition. The entire arm is numb except for the incision site. I’m assuming I’m missing the median cutaneous nerve. Is this nerve usually blocked with axillary block? If not, what additional block can I do for post op analgesia? Or is it just my technical shortcomings? It def could be my technique, although my blocks usually work for other upper extremity procedures.

Hi there, it sounds to me like you’re missing the intercostobrachial +/- medial cutaneous nerve of the arm. This is super common with axillary brachial plexus blocks (so it’s NOT your technical ability 😊). And the good news is there’s an easy fix for that. Check out this video which goes through the anatomy and a couple of solutions: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6jTm6dmq9d2nNk

what do people like to inject as their local solution for a good surgical block

[@stomaccount1]

Why is it OK to inject local anesthetic in the sheath at this level, but should you stay out of it at the supraclavicular level?

[@Justmemy12]

Whenever posible it decrease the odds of complications but is not contraindicated if needed just more dangerous

[@zakalobi80]

What frequency do you use for that nice and clear image?

[@No-xh2cs]

Probably 15mhz
