Continuous costoclavicular brachial plexus block in a pediatric patient for post-fracture rehabilitation.

Continuous costoclavicular brachial plexus block in a pediatric patient for post-fracture rehabilitation. Paediatr Anaesth. 2020 Apr 13;: Authors: Regufe R, Artilheiro V, Dias MB, Miranda I, Cenicante T Abstract The costoclavicular approach to the brachial plexus block has been recently described as a technique for anesthesia or post-operative analgesia of distal upper limb. In this article, we describe a case in which a continuous costoclavicular brachial plexus block was performed in a pediatric patient for conservative treatment of a traumatic radial fracture with severe elbow rigidity. Perineural catheter placement is a valuable option for pain control and functional prognosis during rehabilitation. PMID: 32285583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
