This is a nice video, however, supraclavicular nerve block is different from brachial plexus block supraclavicular approach. This is clearly not a supraclavicular nerve block. Your supraclavicular nerve arises from your cervical plexus(c3-c4). while your brachial plexus arises from your c5-t1.

The supraclavicular nerve is very useful for clavicular fracture because it gives branches to medial, middle and lateral portions of the clavicle. The supraclavicular approach is useful for anesthesia of the whole arm.

This is most definitely a supraclavicular block. It’s a brachial plexus block just at a lower level of the trajectory the brachial plexus takes (at the level of the trunks and divisions). I think you are referring to the suprascapular nerve which arises from C5 and C6.
