Ultrasound Guided Retroclavicular Infraclavicular Versus Axillary Block as Regional Anesthesia in Obese Patients Undergoing Around and Below Elbow Surgeries: A Randomized Clinical Study
The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic outcomes (time to first analgesic request, total amount of analgesic consumption, and pain scores) following the ultrasound-guided retroclavicular infraclavicular approach and the axillary approach in obese patients.
Inclusion: Patients acceptance to share in the study; Patients with ASA physical status I-II; Obese patients (BMI 30-40 kg/m²) undergoing around and below elbow surgeries under regional anesthesia; Patients requiring a single injection infraclavicular retroclavicular brachial plexus block or axillary block for around and below elbow surgeries.
Exclusion: Patients with a history of previous shoulder or clavicle surgery that may distort anatomy and affect the efficacy of the block; Patients with a history of allergic reactions or contraindications to local anesthetics; Patients with significant comorbidities (e.g., severe cardiovascular, neurological, or musculoskeletal disorders); Patients with a history of systemic infections or skin infections in the area of the block; Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
