Comparative study of nerve stimulator versus USG guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block: A randamized control trial

Abstract

Introduction: The study contrasts peripheral nerve stimulator-guided and ultrasound-guided techniques for supraclavicular brachial plexus block in upper limb surgeries. Ultrasound guidance offers real-time nerve visualization and precise needle placement, reducing complications. Conversely, peripheral nerve stimulator methods may carry higher risks and lower success rates. By assessing success rates, complications, and patient satisfaction, the research aims to offer evidence-based recommendations for anesthesia practice. These findings contribute to refining techniques, enhancing patient safety
