Treatment and study plan

Brachial Plexus Anaesthesia

Procedure

Regional anaesthesia for treatment of upper extremity injuries.

Primary outcomes

  1. Conversion to general anaesthesia

    Time frame: intraoperatively

    The necessity to convert to general anaesthesia will be obtained from surgery and anaesthesiology protocols and serves as primary outcome to evaluate efficacy of the investigated method of anaesthesia. All patients who received plexus brachialis anaesthesia but had to be converted to general anaesthesia during or prior the surgical intervention will assigned to this outcome measurement. Number of patients who required conversion will be given as percentage of total patient collective. Possible variables: e.g. 0=no conversion, 1=conversion.
