OBJECTIVES Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and infraclavicular blocks are commonly used for upper extremity surgery. The primary aims of our study were to compare block success, block onset times and performance times; secondary aims were to compare the number of needle advancements, and incidence of adverse events of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular or infraclavicular blocks. METHODS 110 patients were randomized into two groups: supraclavicular (Group S) and infraclavicular (Group I). All…

Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular, Infraclavicular and Below-C6 Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block for Upper Limb Surgery: A Randomised, Observer-Blinded Study
TLDR
It is indicated that, although interscalene block below the C6 nerve root can provide surgical anaesthesia for forearm and hand surgery, it appears to have a longer onset time than supra- and infraclavicular approaches and an unacceptable incidence of phrenic nerve palsy.
A Comparative Study of Quality of Ultrasound Guided Supraclavicular and Infraclavicular Blocks for Upper Limb Surgery
TLDR
Compared to USG guided supraclavicular block, Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block provides superior surgical anesthesia with less side effects but with less duration of analgesia.
Supraclavicular Versus Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Using Two Different Techniques: Comparative Study
TLDR
It was concluded that the supraclavicular nerve block showed no significant difference from infraclavicular ultrasound-guided with or without nerve stimulator, and it remains controversial whether the adding of the nerve stimulation to the ultrasound is more beneficial in ensuring rapid onset, longer duration of action, and avoiding complications.
Comparison of Supraclavicular and Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: A Systemic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
TLDR
IC-BPB showed a significantly high incidence of incomplete radial nerve sensory block at 30 minutes, which may be avoided by double or triple injection, which was demonstrated in a meta-analysis of RCTs comparing SC- and IC- BPB.
Retrospective Analysis of Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Block: Effect of Experience of Anesthesiologists on Volume of Local Anesthetic Administered
TLDR
It is concluded that sonographic guidance ensures a high success rate and that increased experience of anesthesiologists is associated with reduced complications and failure rate of blocks, in addition to prevention of LA overdose.
Low-Volume Brachial Plexus Block Providing Surgical Anesthesia for Distal Arm Surgery Comparing Supraclavicular, Infraclavicular, and Axillary Approach: A Randomized Observer Blind Trial
TLDR
Supraclavicular brachial plexus block with the multiinjection intracluster technique exhibited significantly reduced total anesthesia-related time and higher success rate without any early adverse events.
To what extent can local anesthetics be reduced for infraclavicular block with ultrasound guidance?
TLDR
The results show that US guidance is more effective in maintenance of successful ICB than neurostimulation guidance alone and a reduction of LA doses even to 70 % of conventionally used doses seems possible with US guidance.
The technique comparison of brachial plexus blocks by ultrasound guided with blocks by nerve stimulator guided.
TLDR
Supraclavicular brachial plexus perineural insertion using ultrasound guidance is feasible and almost have no complications, deserves further study with a randomized controlled trial comparing this relatively new technique with only using nerve stimulator.
Complications associated with three brachial plexus blocking techniques: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Case Report: Peripheral Nerve Block in a Pregnant Patient
TLDR
In conclusion, peripheral nerve blocks are considered as the anesthesia method that should be preferred over general anesthesia in eligible pregnant patients undergoing non-obstetric intervention.

Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Versus Supraclavicular Block
TLDR
It is concluded that USG infraclavicular block is at least as rapidly executed as USG supraclavicularBlock and produces a similar degree of surgical anesthesia without supplementation.
Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Block: Outcome of 510 Consecutive Cases
TLDR
Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block is associated with a high rate of successful surgical anesthesia and a low rate of complications and thus may be a safe alternative for both inpatients and outpatients.
A comparison of infraclavicular and supraclavicular approaches to the brachial plexus using neurostimulation
TLDR
Both infraclavicular and supraclavicular brachial plexus block had similar effects in upper limb surgery, and the infrac Lavicular approach may be preferred to the suprAClavicular approach when considering the complications.
Electrical Nerve Stimulation or Ultrasound Guidance for Lateral Sagittal Infraclavicular Blocks: A Randomized, Controlled, Observer-Blinded, Comparative Study
TLDR
It is concluded that favorable results can be obtained when either nerve stimulation or ultrasound guidance is used for lateral sagittal infraclavicular block and local anesthetic injection cranioposterior to the artery appears feasible.
Sonographically Guided Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Adults
TLDR
The data from this retrospective study suggest that sonographic guidance provides a high success rate (99.3%) and improved safety for ICBPB and the increased operator team experience virtually eliminates failure and complications.
A comparison of ultrasound‐guided supraclavicular and infraclavicular blocks for upper extremity surgery
TLDR
This randomized study compared the block performance and onset times, effectiveness, incidence of adverse events and patient's acceptance of US‐guided supraclavicular or infraclavicular blocks to hypothesized that the suprAClavicular approach will produce a faster and a more extensive sensory block.
A Novel Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: The Lateral and Sagittal Technique, Developed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies
TLDR
The MRI study indicates that the new infraclavicular technique may be efficient in reaching a cord of the brachial plexus, often not demanding more than two needle directions.
Pneumothorax after an ultrasound‐guided lateral sagittal infraclavicular block
TLDR
The presented case of pneumothorax after an ultrasound-guided lateral, sagittal infraclavicular block should alert anaesthesiologists to the fact that ultrasound is not foolproof.
Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block
TLDR
The preliminary data suggest that a high-resolution ultrasound probe can reliably identify the brachial plexus and its neighboring structures in the supraclavicular region and can quickly localize nerves during needle advancement.
