Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Aids

Context:

  • Axillary plexus block is a common regional anesthesia technique.
  • Proper arm positioning is crucial for effective axillary plexus block.
  • Existing arm positioning devices may have limitations.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a new device, the "plexus-table," for improved arm positioning during axillary plexus blocks.
  • To describe the features and benefits of the modified Maquet arm posturing device.

Summary:

  • The "plexus-table" features a large, multi-planar adjustable plate fixed to the operation table.
  • It allows for more comfortable arm placement by reducing external shoulder rotation.
  • The device accommodates patients with shoulder movement restrictions.
