Résumé

Brachial plexus (BP) blocks continue to be described with reference to anatomical landmarks (Interscalene and Supraclavicular), even after the introduction of ultrasound which enables us to directly identify the roots, trunks and divisions of the BP. The aim of this study was to describe a novel injection technique targeting trunks of BP and to determine the minimum effective local anaesthetic volume (MELAV) required to produce BP block with this approach. Twenty-one male patients in the age group 20-40 years, undergoing elective forearm bony procedures received an ultrasound-guided truncal injection BP block. MELAV Out of the 21 patients, 13 patients had a successful block. The MELAV Trunks of the brachial plexus can be identified and targeted for the injection of local anaesthetics. The MELAV

BACKGROUND AND AIMS OBJECTIVE
Brachial plexus (BP) blocks continue to be described with reference to anatomical landmarks (Interscalene and Supraclavicular), even after the introduction of ultrasound which enables us to directly identify the roots, trunks and divisions of the BP. The aim of this study was to describe a novel injection technique targeting trunks of BP and to determine the minimum effective local anaesthetic volume (MELAV) required to produce BP block with this approach.
METHODS METHODS
Twenty-one male patients in the age group 20-40 years, undergoing elective forearm bony procedures received an ultrasound-guided truncal injection BP block. MELAV
RESULTS RESULTS
Out of the 21 patients, 13 patients had a successful block. The MELAV
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Trunks of the brachial plexus can be identified and targeted for the injection of local anaesthetics. The MELAV
