Successful clavicle fracture surgery performed under selective supraclavicular nerve block using the new subclavian approach
Abstract Objectives Cervical nerves block cannot be performed on some patients because of the risk of phrenic nerve paralysis. To overcome this limitation, we discovered the site of selective only supraclavicular nerve block at the subclavian site. Case report We present the case of a 62-year-old wo...

| Summary: | Abstract Objectives Cervical nerves block cannot be performed on some patients because of the risk of phrenic nerve paralysis. To overcome this limitation, we discovered the site of selective only supraclavicular nerve block at the subclavian site. Case report We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with clavicular fracture. We performed a selective block of the supraclavicular nerve and the fifth and sixth cervical nerves for the clavicle fracture surgery. Conclusions We can perform selective supraclavicular nerve blocks for clavicular fracture surgery of patients who have bilateral pneumothorax. |
