    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Devices

    Context:

    • Sub-axillary brachial plexus blockade is crucial for upper extremity surgery.
    • Traditional methods may rely on patient cooperation and anatomical landmarks.
    • Ensuring consistent and prolonged anesthesia is a clinical challenge.

    Purpose:

    • To present a novel catheter technique for sub-axillary brachial plexus blockade.
    • To utilize electric nerve stimulation for precise cannula placement.
    • To enable prolonged regional anesthesia and effective pain management.

    Summary:

    • A special catheter set allows for precise placement within the vasomotor nerve sheath using electric nerve stimulation.
    • The technique bypasses the need for patient cooperation, relying on objective muscle contraction criteria.

  • A catheter can be inserted via the Seldinger technique, minimizing risks of neural and vascular injury and eliminating repeat punctures.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a safe and reliable method for brachial plexus blockade, reducing risks of complications.
    • Enables prolonged regional anesthesia for upper extremity procedures, extending beyond long-acting anesthetics.
    • Offers consistent anesthetic blockade, excluding incomplete anesthesia due to dosage variations, and facilitates pre- and post-operative pain therapy.
