Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Summary

This study explores using dual brachial plexus nerve blocks for distal biceps repair in an obese patient, offering an alternative to general anesthesia. The dual block provided effective anesthesia and muscle relaxation for successful surgical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anesthesiology
  • Regional Anesthesia

Background:

  • Distal biceps repair is a common orthopedic procedure.

  • Obesity presents challenges for anesthesia management, increasing risks with general anesthesia.
  • Dual brachial plexus blocks are established for shoulder surgery but less so for distal humerus/elbow procedures.
