TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 24. Cervical Paravertebral Block A1 - Boezaart, André P. A2 - Hadzic, Admir PY - 2007 T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - The cervical paravertebral approach to the brachial plexus results in a volume-dependent blockade of the roots of the brachial plexus. Cervical paravertebral block is indicated for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in all major surgery on the upper extremity, including surgery on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.1 It is also suitable for patients in whom it is difficult to reach the brachial plexus trunks via the interscalene approach.2 Because both the loss-of-resistance technique and nerve stimulation can be used for placement of this block, it is well suited to postoperative placement or for other patients (eg, patients with fractures of the arm) in whom motor activity due to nerve stimulation may be poorly tolerated.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3501182 ER -
