Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of complete sensory block at 30 minutes following ultrasound-guided single injection infraclavicular block and ultrasound-guided double injection axillary block. The investigators research hypothesis is that both blocks will show comparable rates of complete sensory block at 30 minutes.

Conditions

• Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block	Ultrasound-guided single injection infraclavicular block: using an in-plane technique, 30 mL of mepivacaine 1.5% is injected at the posterior aspect of the artery.
PROCEDURE	Ultrasound-guided axillary block	Ultrasound-guided double injection axillary block: using an in-plane technique, 25 mL of mepivacaine 1.5% is injected postero-medial to the artery. During needle withdrawal, 5 mL of the same solution is injected close to the musculocutaneous nerve.
