Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of brachial plexus block under the guidance of ultrasound in nerve and vascular connecting microsurgery of the forearm. Subject and method: 45 patients, ASA I, II, aged from 16 to 65 underneath forearm microsurgery. The ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block was performed with 0,375% marcain (dosage 1.5mg/kg) mixed 2% lidocain (dosage 2mg/kg). Assessing the degree of sensory and motor block according to Hollmen's scale and Bromage scale. Ressult: The onset time of sensory block at forearm and hand was 6.70 ± 2.22 minutes and the duration time was 327.8 ± 21.48 minutes, the onset time of motor block was 13.25 ± 3.73 minutes and the duration time at grade 3 was 241.78 ± 65.67 minutes, the motor block of grade 2, 3 was at 100% of patients. The success rate was 97.77%, and no complications were noted. Conclusion: The ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block with Marcain mixed Lidocain provides high success rate and safety. The total anesthetic duration time was long for forearm and hand microsurgery
