Risk profiles of common brachial plexus block sites: results from the net-ra registry
The axillary approach to the brachial plexus had the highest odds for block failure and neurological dysfunction after catheter placement, as well as a significant risk for catheter failure. However, considering that the axillary approach precludes other complications such as pneumothorax, none of the four common approaches to the brachial plexus has a fundamentally superior risk profile.
