Interscalene brachial plexus-Cervical plexus interscalene brachial plexus block and superficial cervical plexus block: An ultrasound-guided IC block using an ultrasound machine (Sonosite, USA), and an linear array probe with a sterile cover and a 22G(Gauge) block needle is performed. An in-plane approach, advancing the needle along the longitudinal axis of the ultrasound transducer and visualizing the entire shaft is employed. Twenty ml of 0.375% ropivacaine(naropin) is injected around brachial plexus and 10 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine around superficial cervical plexus.
