Description of the Brachial Plexus Block at the Humeral Head in Children: a Sono-anatomical Study

The arm is abducted (90°), externally rotated, with the forearm flexed over the arm (90°). A linear ultrasound probe (8-15 MHz) is placed in front of the humeral head, in a sagittal plane. Location begins at axillary level, vessels, nerves and humerus are identified, and the probe is moved medially to reach and identify the humeral head.
