Infraclavicular Block

An infraclavicular block is a type of regional anesthesia used to numb the nerves in the arm and shoulder area. It involves injecting anesthetic near the nerves that pass beneath the collarbone (the infraclavicular region) to block pain during surgeries on the upper limb or shoulder. This method provides effective pain relief without affecting consciousness and is preferred for its ability to cover a larger area while minimizing risks compared to other techniques. It is commonly used in both surgical settings and for pain management.
