Supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks are not common in pediatric patients due to the risk of pneumothorax. Ultrasonography is an important tool for identifying nerves during regional anesthesia. Directly visualizing the target nerves and monitoring the distribution of the local anesthetic are potentially significant. In addition, ultrasound monitoring helps avoid complications, such as inadvertent intravascular injection or pneumothorax. This paper reports four cases of pediatric patients who received ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgery.
锁骨上臂丛神经阻滞在小儿患者中并不常见,因为有气胸的风险。超声检查是在区域麻醉中识别神经的重要工具。直接观察目标神经并监测局部麻醉剂的分布具有重要意义。此外,超声监测有助于避免并发症,如无意中的血管内注射或气胸。本文报告了 4 例接受超声引导锁骨上臂丛神经阻滞的小儿患者,用于上肢手术。
