Neuropathies Following an Ultrasound-Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block
Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block (UGBPB) has interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary approaches. The axillary block is considered to be the safest and with fewer adverse events compared to the interscalene (eg, phrenic nerve block, spinal cord or vertebral artery puncture) and supraclavicular (eg, pneumothorax).
