Summary

It is hypothesized that retro clavicular Infraclavicular brachial plexus block is better than classical coracoid Infraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients undergoing forearm surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Retroclavicular infraclavicular brachial plexus block	The retro clavicular approach to the Infraclavicular brachial plexus block will be performed by placing probe parasagittally just medial to the coracoid process and caudal from the clavicle. The needle insertion point was located in the supraclavicular fossa, just medial to the shoulder at a point sufficiently posterior to the clavicle and medial to the trapezius muscle insertion point on the clavicle. The needle will be inserted immediately above the clavicle in the space between the coracoid process and the clavicle and advanced from cephalad to caudal.
PROCEDURE	Classic coracoid infraclavicular brachial plexus block	The coracoid approach to the Infraclavicular brachial plexus block will be performed by placing the ultrasound probe parasagittally just medial to the coracoid process and caudal from the clavicle. The needle will be inserted cephalad to the ultrasound probe using an in-plane technique and advanced in a caudal direction toward the posterior aspect of the axillary artery, in the vicinity of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
