A supraclavicular block is a regional anesthesia technique targeting the brachial plexus, a network of nerves supplying the arm and hand. Performed under ultrasound guidance, this procedural block is highly effective for surgeries and pain management in the upper extremity, minimizing risks associated with nerve injury or pneumothorax due to real-time needle visualization.
Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular blocks enhance safety and efficacy, allowing precise anesthetic delivery around the subclavian artery and brachial plexus trunks. This approach improves patient outcomes by reducing complications and optimizing pain control in medical settings, making it a preferred choice for interventional procedures.
