Axillary Brachial Plexus Block T2 NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management YR 2007 FD 2007 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 9780071449069 LK accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3501609 RD 2024/03/29 AB Brachial plexus block at the level of the axilla is typically chosen for anesthesia of the distal upper limb. Axillary block is a basic regional anesthesia technique and perhaps the most common approach to brachial plexus blockade. Low risk of serious complications, superficial location, and good analgesia of the upper arm muscles make this block suitable for ambulatory procedures of longer duration that require a tourniquet.
