Summary
Brachial plexus blocks have some advantages, but also have some disadvantages as well. As
with all nerve blocks, having to wait sometime for an effective block, sometimes failure to
achieve an adequate block and possible requirement for isolated nerve block, having to wait a
long time for resolution of the block, and immobilization of the extremity for some time can
be seen as handicaps for brachial plexus block as well. In the present study, Study was aimed
to compare the effects of bupivacaine warmed to body temperature and kept at room temperature
on the onset time of ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block.
