Abstract

Introduction. Regional anesthesia techniques have grown exponentially in the last decades, and there is a growing number of patients who can benefit from anesthetic or analgesic peripheral nerve blocks. The use of Regional Anesthesia has shown to be a helpful tool for postoperative analgesic management. The in- fraclavicular approach to the brachial plexus block is widely used in upper extremity surgery.
