Q

What surgery might the interscalene block not be useful for??

A

Hand and forearm specifically in the ulnar distribution becasue of its C8 and T1 origin. The local dosen’t spread that far caudal usually.

Q

At what level is it most likely to block ALL of the bracheal plexus?

CORDS

DIVISIONS

TRUNKS

ROOTS

???????

A

The Trunks because in this area the brachial plexus form 3 compact nerves in very close proximity to eachother.

C 8 and T1 nerve roots

18
Q

With the supraclavicular block what is the most frequent complication?

A

Pneumothorax

19
Q

What resp complication can the supraclavicular block have on the resp system besides a pneumo??

A

50% get a diaphramatic hemiparesis with minimal reduction in FRC

20
Q

How much Local is used in the supraclavicular block

A

30-40 ml

21
Q

Infraclavicular blocks involve what part of the brachial plexus?

ROOT

TERMINAL BRANCHES

CORDS

TRUNKS

DIVISIONS

A

CORDS

22
Q

Does the infraclavicular block produce respiratory depression

A

NO

23
Q

Using a twitch monitor which muscle is aceptable for appropriate postioning of the needle in a supraclavicular block??

A

extension or flexion of the digits

ulnar or median nerve

24
Q

Using a twitch monitor which muscle is aceptable for appropriate postioning of the needle in a infraclavicular block??

A

Finger and or thumb stimulation

25
Q

What is the most distal block preformed on the brachial plexus

A

The Axillary Block

26
Q

Advantages of the Axillary block

A

Can access the artery to hold pressure should a puncture happen, very little risk of resp issues related to the phrenic nerve or pneumothorax

27
Q

What are the terminal nerve branches of the brachial plexus

A

Axillary

musculocutaneous

radial

median

ulnar

28
Q

What nerve must be blocked separately if an axillary block is used

A

Muscuocutaneous

29
Q

Axillary blocks are use for what types of surgeries

A

Hand and forearm

30
Q

Supra and infra clavicualr blocks are used for blocks are use for what types of surgeries

A

elbow and uper arm surgery

31
Q

Positioning is key for an axillary block. Inability to do what would prohibit the use of this block

A

abduct the arm more than 45 degrees at the shoulder

32
Q

what must you have for a beir block

A

IV distal to the cuff

33
Q

This block is typically used for less then ____ minutes

A

60 min

34
Q

How high is the tourniquet pumped up to??

A

250 mm/Hg or 100 mm/Hg above the SBP

35
Q

In the double Lumen cuff which cuff is inflated first the proximal or distal?

A

Proximal because after 60 min tourniquet pain usually begins and the arm is numb under the distal cuff before you have to inflate it, reducing tourniquet pain.

36
Q

Amount of Local used for an upper ext beir block is??

A

30 - 50ml of 0.5% Lidocaine or about 3ml/kg
