AB  - Peripheral  nerve  blocks  of  the  upper  extremity  may  be  used  for  anesthesia,  postoperative  analgesia,  and  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  chronic  pain  syndromes.  Preoperative  analgesia  may  be  obtained,  and  catheter  techniques  enable  post-operative  pain  management  with  continuous  infusions  of  local  anesthetic,  with  or  without  an  opioid.  Such  infusions  can  improve  perfusion  to  the  operative  extremity,  reduce  pain  with  movement,  facilitate  early  joint  mobilization,  and  improve  the  quality  of  life  weeks  after  discontinuation  of  the  infusion.  The  types  of  upper  extremity  nerve  blocks  are  listed  in  Table  14-1.
