Brief Summary  

The advent of ultrasonography in Anaesthesia practice has made it a valuable adjunct in Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Regional Anaesthesia. The apparent benefits of direct visualization of the nerves and their surrounding anatomy, continuous observation of the needle tip and the spread of local Anaesthetic make Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia highly appealing to patients as well as Anaesthesiologists. Hence, we propose that Infraclavicular approach of Brachial Plexus Block will be faster to perform and as safe as Supraclavicular approach, with fewer complications while using Ultrasound guidance. There are only a few studies in the literature that compare Supraclavicular and Infraclavicular approaches of the Brachial Plexus block using Ultrasound Guidance.
