Summary

1. Evaluation of the efficacy of the circumferential versus non circumferential distribution of mepivacaine around the median and ulnar nerves. 2. Evaluation the onset of action of mepivacaine in circumferential versus non circumferential distribution around the median and ulnar nerves. 3. Spread of mepivacaine after injection guided by ultrasonography. 4. Complications of both anesthetic techniques in postoperative time.

Conditions

• Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Circumferential spread of the mepivacaine ultrasonographic guided around the median and ulnar nerves at the elbow	Homogeneous spread of 6 ml of mepivacaine 1% around the median and ulnar nerves in each one using several needle passes and active hydrodissection
PROCEDURE	Non circumferential spread in ultrasound-guided median and ulnar nerves block	Asymmetric spread of 6 ml of mepivacaine 1% in contact with median and ulnar nerves block in each one, using only one needle pass
