A Comparison Between Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular and Infraclavicular Approaches to Brachial Plexus Block for Elective Upper Limb Surgery.

Background: Regional anaesthesia offers the anaesthesiologist, the surgeon, as well as the patient advantages over general anaesthesia such as being conscious through the surgery, avoiding multiple drugs, better haemodynamic stability, excellent postoperative analgesia, and faster per oral consumption post surgery. Compared with the axillary approach, the brachial plexus block at the level of the clavicle can anaesthetize all four distal upper extremity nerve territories without the requirement for a separate block of the musculocutaneous nerve.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of both supraclavicular and infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in terms of time taken for onset, performance, and block success.

Comparison of conventional needle holding technique and pen holding method of needle holding for real-time ultrasound-guided internal jugular venous cannulation - A randomised parallel-group study.

Background And Aims: Ultrasound-guided central venous (CV) cannulation is the standard of care for inserting CV catheter in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV). However, mechanical complications can still occur. The primary objective of this study was to compare the incidence of posterior vessel wall puncture (PVWP) using conventional needle holding technique with pen holding method of needle holding technique for IJV cannulation.

Comparison of Laryngoscopic View Obtained by Conventional Head Rise to that Obtained by Horizontal Alignment of External Auditory Meatus and Sternal Notch.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of change of patients' position during laryngoscopy on laryngoscopic view and to evaluate the effect of body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference on laryngoscopic view in both the positions.

Methodology: A prospective, unblinded observational study was done with patients and laryngoscopists acting as their own controls. The study included 300 patients of ASA classes I and II aged more than 18 years who were scheduled to undergo general anesthesia.
