Comparison Between Costoclavicular and Paracoracoid Ultrasound-guided Infraclavicular Block for Forearm Surgery

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2018-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The costoclavicular space block technique is a new developed approach of ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block(USG-ICB) in last two years and has not been studied much yet. The paracoracoid approach serves as a standard and traditional method for USG-ICB in clinical practice, easy to learn and perform. The investigators set this parallel controlled dose-finding trial to work out the MEV with 0.5% ropivacaine of both two approaches above for forearm surgery and compare the performance time between them, providing reasonable evidence for clinical choice.
