Summary
The retroclavicular approach for brachial plexus anesthesia requires an optimal angle between
the needle and the ultrasound beam. Retroclavicular approach has already been proven
effective and safe in the past. The general objective is to provide a formal comparison
between the retroclavicular approach and coracoid infraclavicular approach for brachial
plexus anaesthesia. This study should represent the differences between the two techniques.
