| Abstract;Arm plexus block was applied to a patient who was diagnosed as phlegmon, but the pain was worsened even after the injury was relieved. It was likely that neural damage might be caused by the nerve block. Taking consideration of nerve protective effects by local administration of steroid, arm plexus block was conducted in combination of dexamethasone and a local anesthetic. Analgesic effects for 2 weeks were thus obtained. The puncture distance from the skin is shorter for arm plexus block than ganglion stellatum block or epidural block. Since the risk of bleeding is lower for arm plexus block, this procedure for nerve block is very useful for treatments at pain clinic. |
