ultrasound- guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block
"Patient lie down supine with head turned 45 degrees to the contralateral side and ipsilateral arm adducted gently by the assistant and the shoulder kept down with flexed elbow.~After sterile preparation of the skin and the ultrasound probe (12 MHz probe) were used, the brachial plexus was visualized by placing the transducer in the sagittal plane in the supraclavicular fossa behind the middle-third of the clavicle. Two distinct appearances of the brachial plexus was seen at the supraclavicular region, it either appeared as 3 hypoechoic circles with hyperechoic outer rings or as a grape like cluster of 5 to 6 hypoechoic circles, located lateral and superior to the subclavian artery between the anterior and middle scalene muscles at the lower cervical region figure"
