Abstract
Ultrasound guided nerve block is now becoming the standard practice in regional anesthesia and has been shown to require less volume of local anesthetic and reduce the incidence of complications. Brachial plexus block can be approached via interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular or axillary routes. Each of these approaches have their individual advantages and risk. This articles describes the indications, relevant sonoanatomy and techniques to perform the blocks and recent advances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
