Influence of lumbar spine pathology on the incidence of paresthesia during spinal anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:It has recently been proposed that an infraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) at the costoclavicular (CC) space may overcome some of the limitations of the lateral sagittal (LS) approach. In this study, we hypothesized that the CC approach will produce faster onset of sensory blockade of t...
