Abstract
Various approaches to brachial plexus block have been described. Among the supraclavicular approaches even the procedure itself varies. With earlier techniques the exact site for insertion of needle was determined using visual topographic landmarks (1cm above the midpoint of clavicle) 1 whereas with more recent technique, palpable landmarks( the scalene muscle and the interscalene groove) have been utilised 2 . In our study the subclavian perivascular technique of brachial plexus block was conducted in a tertiary level hospital. It was prospective non randomized open level study from 2011 to 2013 which includes 66 patients of both sexes between the age group of 20 to 50 years (ASA grading 1 and 2 patients) undergoing elective upper limb surgeries. The onset and duration of sensory and motor block, need for supplement anaesthesia were observed. Success and complication rate were calculated in percentage. Average onset and duration of sensory and motor block was calculated as mean ±SD and percentage out of 66 patients, 60 patients ( 90.90%) have got successful block with no significant complications
