About this study

The role of perfusion index in the prediction of peripheral block success was previously reported for infraclavicular brachial plexus block, axillary brachial plexus block, interscalene brachial plexus block, and supraclavicular brachial plexus in adult patients. The aim of the present study is to assess the effects of perfusion index on success of supraclavicular brachial plexus block in pediatric patients.

Treatment and study plan

perfusion index

Device

perfusion index in the prediction of peripheral block success was previously reported for infraclavicular brachial plexus block, axillary brachial plexus block, interscalene brachial plexus block, and supraclavicular brachial plexus in adult patients

Primary outcomes

  1. perfusion index

    Time frame: the time span between 1 day preoperative and 24 hours after surgery

    Correlation between success of supraclavicular brachial plexus block and perfusion index

Secondary outcomes

  1. mean arterial blood pressure

    Time frame: the time span between 1 day preoperative and 24 hours after surgery

    perioperative mean arterial blood pressure in mmHg

  2. heart rate

    Time frame: the time span between 1 day preoperative and 24 hours after surgery

    perioperative heart rate as beat/min

  3. PI ratio

    Time frame: up to 10 minutes

    Correlate between baseline PI and 10min after supraclavicular brachial plexus block
