Abstract
BACKGROUND: Anesthesia plays an essential role in the successful surgical procedures for hand trauma. Compared with general anesthesia, brachial plexus block shows lots of benefits for the upper extremity. Specifically, ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block may overcome the issues of incomplete block and failure of anesthesia in such circumstances. The present study assessed the efficacy of ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block in clinical practice. AIM: To explore the efficacy of ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block in rapid recovery surgery for hand trauma. METHODS: A total of 68 patients with traumatic hand injuries treated at our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected. They were divided into an observation group and a control group with 34 patients in each group. The observation group underwent selective brachial plexus block guided by ultrasound and the control group underwent conventional brachial plexus block. The analgesic efficacy, intraoperative complications, wound healing time, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups under different anesthesia. RESULTS: The percentage of cases with analgesia graded as "excellent or very good" was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidence of intraoperative complications was lower and the wound healing time and length of hospital stay were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided selective proximal and distal brachial plexus block has remarkable analgesic efficacy in patients with traumatic hand injuries. It can reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications, promote wound healing, and shorten the length of hospital stay. ©The Author(s) 2020. Published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc.
