This study aimed to compare two approaches to the brachial plexus: the traditional blind method and an additional technique, both of which use anatomical landmarks to guide needle insertion.
The traditional and additional approaches were performed on both thoracic limbs of 24 cadavers (24 for each approach). Methylene dye is used for injection and nerve staining. We counted the nerves that successfully stained (staining less than 1 cm). The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare approaches.
The findings indicated that all cadavers were successfully used. The traditional approach and the additional approach revealed success rates of 45.83% and 54.17%, respectively. We found no significant differences between the two techniques ( > 0.05).
The additional approach presents a viable alternative to the traditional method for performing the brachial plexus block in goats. Further research into the clinical differences between these techniques could lead to useful insights that help make them more accurate and useful.
本研究旨在比较两种臂丛神经阻滞方法：传统的盲法和另一种技术，这两种方法均使用解剖标志来引导进针。
对24具尸体的双侧胸肢分别采用传统方法和另一种方法（每种方法各24次）。使用亚甲蓝进行注射和神经染色。我们对成功染色（染色长度小于1厘米）的神经进行计数。采用曼-惠特尼检验比较两种方法。
结果表明所有尸体均成功使用。传统方法和另一种方法的成功率分别为45.83%和54.17%。我们发现两种技术之间无显著差异（>0.05）。
另一种方法是山羊臂丛神经阻滞传统方法的可行替代方案。对这些技术之间临床差异的进一步研究可能会带来有益的见解，有助于使其更准确、更有用。
