Effective lidocaine volume for a double-injection costoclavicular brachial plexus block. Registered at #ISRCTN by @JulianAliste isrctn.com/ISRCTN16060312 #clinicaltrials
The costoclavicular block is a regional anesthesia technique for the upper extremity. The block has proven to be effective and safe to offer anesthesia and analgesia for upper extremity surgery. Recently it was demonstrated that depositing the local anesthetic in two locations is more efficient than in just one for this technique. However, the volume of local anesthetic needed when using two injections is unknown and might be different and perhaps lower than with single injections. The aim of this study is to determine the ideal volume to use in this double injection technique. This is important because knowing the effective volume it is possible to prevent unnecessary high and possibly toxic doses of local anesthetics.
