Abstract
|
|
|
Regional anesthesia is used as an alternative to general anesthesia, and among them, brachial plexus block is widely used in orthopedic upper extremity surgery. The anesthesiologist must make a good decision about which type of nerve block to perform depending on the surgical site. This technique involves the injection of local anesthetic agents in close proximity to the brachial plexus, temporarily blocking the sensation and ability to move the upper extremity This case is a superficial cervical plexus block and interscalene block performed on a patient who was unable to perform general anesthesia using nitrous oxide due to pneumothorax.
The patient was discharged after recovery without side effects such as worsening of pneumothorax after surgery.
