Subclavian Nerve Block

A subclavian nerve block is a medical procedure where a healthcare provider injects anesthesia near the nerves beneath the collarbone area. This numbing medicine interrupts nerve signals, helping to eliminate pain in the shoulder, arm, or chest region. It's often used for surgeries or procedures in these areas, providing targeted pain relief while allowing the patient to remain awake. The technique requires careful knowledge of anatomy to avoid complications, and it can effectively reduce the need for general anesthesia in suitable cases.
