Official Title: Comparison Between Bupivacaine 0.5% Versus Bupivacaine 0.25% Plus Lidocaine 1% in Ultrasound-guided Infraclavicular Block: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
In this study, the investigators will compare two different anesthetic solutions in the infraclavicular block in patients having forearm, wrist, and hand surgery.The solutions will be bupivacaine 0.5% versus bupivacaine 0.25% plus lidocaine 1%, both associated with epinephrine 5 mcg/ml and dexamethasone 4 mg.The main objective of this investigation is to demonstrate that using higher concentrations of bupivacaine alone results in a significant block duration increase compared with the mixture of bupivacaine…
