Summary
In this study, the investigators will compare two different anesthetic solutions in the
infraclavicular block in patients having forearm, wrist, and hand surgery. The solutions will
be bupivacaine 0.5% versus bupivacaine 0.25% plus lidocaine 1%, both associated with
epinephrine 5 mcg/ml and dexamethasone 4 mg.
The main objective of this investigation is to demonstrate that using higher concentrations
of bupivacaine alone results in a significant block duration increase compared with the
mixture of bupivacaine and lidocaine.
