supraclavicular blocks what part of BP
trunks and divisiojns
infraclavicular blocks what part of BP
cords
what part of arm does infraclav block
upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand
what block is best for copd
infra > supra
or ax if limited mobility
landmarks for infraclavicular
clavicle and coracoid process
complications of infraclavicular
chylothorax
this block has highest risk of vascular injection!! and patient discomfort (piercing pec muscles)
axillary block tagets what part of BP
terminal branches
where does axillary miss
medial upper arm- axillary and deltoid
what nerve is often missed with the axillary block
musculocutaneous- lateral foreram- 2nd injection needed
complications for axillary block
median nerve injury
hematoma and last also
phrenic n injury and pneumothorax not common
forearm blocks: radial, median, ulnar
radial- proximal to radial styloid- field block as many branchs of radial n.
median- between flexor carpi radialis and flexor palmaris longus
ulnar- between ulnar styloid and flexor carpi ulnaris
what is important to know abut digital nerve blocks
no epi!! ischemia
what type of procedures should bier block be used for
minimal operative pain procedures: carpel tunel release, dupuytren’s contraction
what cannot be used in bier block
no epi or bupivicaine in bier block
when does pain begin with bier block
25-60 mins
what nerve helps tolerate touorniquet pain but often needs to be blocked seperate
T2- intercostobrachial n
what does femoral n do
hip flexion and knee extension
sciatic n
hip extension and knee flexion
what controls toe extension/ flexion, abduction and adduction
tibial
what controls ankle eversion
superficial peroneal
what controls ankle dorsiflexion and inversion
deep peroneal
excess pain response to stimuli
hyperalgesia- remi
pain from nonpainful stimuli
allodynia- fibromyalgia
pain localized to peripheral nerve
neuralgia- herpes zoster
