What Procedures Can Brachial Plexus Block Anesthesia Be Used For

Brachial plexus block is one kind of nerve block and also belongs to local anesthesia. The anesthesiologist chooses different puncture sites according to the different surgical sites of the patient, including the intermuscular sulcus, axilla, supraclavicular, subclavicular, etc. Different puncture sites were selected, and the sites of block anesthesia were slightly different, but generally speaking, they were all the upper limbs of anesthesia. So brachial plexus anesthesia is suitable for upper limb and shoulder joint surgery and upper limb joint reduction. For example, shoulder dislocation can be performed under brachial plexus block to avoid pain and discomfort in patients. Brachial plexus blocks have a longer duration of anesthesia, but for some operations with a longer duration, such as finger replantation, brachial plexus anesthesia drugs do not have enough duration of action. Based on the original operation time, brachial plexus block should be done again to meet the requirements of the operation. Therefore, brachial plexus block anesthesia can fully meet the requirements of upper limb and shoulder joint surgery.
