Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine prolongs peripheral nerve block: a volunteer study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The posterolateral and medial aspect of the arm is supplied by the axillary (AXN) and intercostobrachial nerves (ICBN), which are not anaesthetised by an axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB). Blockade of the AXN and the ICBN has been reported in the quadrangular space (QS) posteriorly or by serratus plane b...
