Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Challenging Anterior Shoulder Dislocations: A Case Series
Introduction: Emergency physicians frequently manage anterior shoulder dislocations (ASD). While there are many effective methods to reduce an ASD, adequate analgesia is imperative. Case Series: We used the supraclavicular brachial plexus (SBP) block to reduce ASD in three patients. Conclusion: The...

| description | Introduction: Emergency physicians frequently manage anterior shoulder dislocations (ASD). While there are many effective methods to reduce an ASD, adequate analgesia is imperative. Case Series: We used the supraclavicular brachial plexus (SBP) block to reduce ASD in three patients. Conclusion: The SBP block reliably anesthetizes the entire upper extremity, including the shoulder, by targeting all trunks and divisions of the brachial plexus. Complications are rare. Considering its ease of implementation and paucity of complications, the SBP block may be an effective means for reducing ASD. |
