Comparison of Ultrasound Guided Brachial Plexus Blockage With General Anesthesia and Cost Analysis

Abstract

Peripheral block practices are becoming the primary choice of anaesthesiologists among anaesthesia practices. In peripheral nerve block practices, anaesthesia is limited to the area in which nerves innervate and the cardiopulmonary system is minimally affected. Besides these, vigilance of the patient is another advantage. In this study, we aimed to make in patients who underwent upper extremity surgery, comparisons between the brachial plexus block and general anaesthesia in terms of patient and surgeon satisfaction, postoperative complications and cost analysis. © 2017, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
