Supraclavicular BP block

The supraclavicular brachial plexus block is indicated for surgical anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia for procedures of the upper limb distal to the shoulder level

The supraclavicular brachial plexus block targets the brachial plexus at the level of the zone of transition – where the trunks are transformed to fascicles just proximal to the clavicle
