About

This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) with either clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) or interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBP) as an anesthetic technique for clavicle surgeries.

Full description

Clavicular fracture is the most common injury in the shoulder, it occurs in 35% of shoulder girdle fractures. Clavicle surgeries often involve addressing fractures, dislocations, or corrective procedures, and they generally require precise and effective pain control.

Traditional superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) combined with interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBP) can be used in the operation of clavicle fracture.

The SCPB targets the cervical plexus, providing sensory anesthesia to the skin overlying the cervical and upper thoracic regions. It is often used in conjunction with other blocks to enhance analgesia in the upper shoulder and clavicle area.

The ISBP block involves the administration of local anesthetic at the level of the brachial plexus, typically performed between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. This approach provides comprehensive analgesia for the shoulder, upper arm, and part of the clavicular area.

Clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a new regional nerve block and can be used in anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for clavicle fracture surgery. CPB provides analgesia to the clavicular region and the upper shoulder.
