Continuous Proximal Infraclavicular Block

This video tutorial discusses the technique for performing the single-injection supraclavicular block (SISCB), which is the go-to block for performing upper extremity surgery distal to the shoulder. It has only a relative short duration of action and is not used for post-operative pain management. For that a CPICB or a CCPVB are better choices.

This video tutorial discusses the applied anatomy for the continuous proximal infraclavicular block (CPICB), which is gaining popularity for painful surgery distal to the shoulder. The continuous distal infraclavicular block has, for pure anatomical reasons, a very high secondary block failure rate.
