Abstract

Supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block (SBPB) is used in anesthesia practice for both anesthesia and analgesia. Sbpb is more preferable due to its advantages over general anesthesia. Some of these advantages are: the patient is conscious, respiratory functions are protected, airway reflexes are preserved and it has postoperative analgesia. However, there are also complications. In recent years, the complication rate with ultrasonography has decreased considerably. In this case, we will discuss the ipsilateral phrenic nerve injury after SBPB.

Supraklaviküler brakial pleksus sinir bloğu sonrası gelişen ipsilateral frenik sinir hasarı

Abstract

Supraklaviküler brakial pleksus sinir bloğu (SBPB) hem anestezi hem de analjezi amacıyla anestezi pratiğinde kullanılmaktadır. Operasyon süresince hastanın bilincinin açık olması, solunum fonksiyonlarında değişimin olmaması, havayolu reflekslerinin korunması ve postoperatif analjezi özelliği ile genel anesteziye kıyasla daha üstündür. Bununla beraber komplikasyonları da mevcuttur. Son yıllarda ultrasonografi (Usg) eşliğinde komplikasyon oranı oldukça azalmıştır. Bu olgumuzda SBPB sonrası gelişen ipsilateral frenik sinir hasarını tartışacağız.
