Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 78 participants

Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to compare the block characteristics of the single operator "jedi grip" technique and the conventional double operator technique.

Detailed Description

Patients undergoing hand, wrist, elbow and forearm surgery randomly assigned two groups (Group I: Jedi grip and Group II: Conventional double operator technique). By a blind observer, the block characteristics were evaluated and recorded .

Conditions

Ultrasound; Nerve Block

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

Group I

USG guided infraclavicular block with single operator jedi grip technique

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

USG guided infraclavicular block

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

USG guided infraclavicular block was applied to patients either by conventional two-person technique or by one person Jedi technique according to the allocated group. On Group I single operator controlled the probe with one hand while controlling the needle and the syringe on the other hand with the Jedi technique. The needle was held between the index finger and the middle phalanx of the middle finger, and the syringe was held with fingers 4 and 5, with the plunger part to the thumb in the palm. On Group II, operator used the probe and needle with different hands while an assistant controlling the syringe to aspirate or inject local anesthetic.

Group 2

USG guided infraclavicular block with conventional double operator technique

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

USG guided infraclavicular block

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

USG guided infraclavicular block was applied to patients either by conventional two-person technique or by one person Jedi technique according to the allocated group. On Group I single operator controlled the probe with one hand while controlling the needle and the syringe on the other hand with the Jedi technique. The needle was held between the index finger and the middle phalanx of the middle finger, and the syringe was held with fingers 4 and 5, with the plunger part to the thumb in the palm. On Group II, operator used the probe and needle with different hands while an assistant controlling the syringe to aspirate or inject local anesthetic.
