    Continuous axillary brachial plexus block using an epidural catheter provided effective pain relief for hand surgery patients. This technique ensured a pain-free postoperative period in most cases, with the catheter indwelling for up to five days.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Regional Anesthesia
    • Pain Management

    Context:

    • Continuous axillary brachial plexus block is an advanced regional anesthesia technique.
    • Utilizing an epidural catheter and Tuohy needle for continuous infusion.
    • Bupivacaine was the local anesthetic of choice in this study.

    Purpose:

    • To describe and evaluate a technique for continuous axillary brachial plexus block.
    • To assess the efficacy of this technique in providing postoperative analgesia.
    • To determine the feasibility of prolonged catheter indwelling for pain management.

    Summary:

    • A continuous axillary brachial plexus block was performed in ten patients using an epidural catheter and Tuohy needle.
    • The catheter remained in place for an average of five days.

  • Nine out of ten patients experienced good analgesia, indicating successful pain control.

    • Impact:

    • This technique facilitates a pain-free postoperative period for patients undergoing hand surgery.
    • It offers a viable option for extended pain management after orthopedic procedures.
    • Demonstrates the potential for improved patient recovery and satisfaction through continuous regional anesthesia.
