Medial versus lateral approach in ultrasound-guided costoclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgery: a randomized control trial
Our study revealed that the medial approach has no significant advantage over the lateral approach with regards to performance time, imaging time, needling time, and performer difficulty. Both performance time and performer difficulty increase with BMI and depth of the cords, with a larger difference in the medial approach.
