A Modification of Landmarks for Infraclavicular Approach to Brachial Plexus Block

*Chief, Anesthesiology Section, United States Army Institute of Surgical Research, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas 78234.

Abstract

A description is made of improved landmarks for the infraclavicular block. The proper use of the nerve stimulator for needle tip localization is also discussed.
