Abstract
For all the happiness, mankind can gain is not in pleasure, but in rest from pain. To compare sensory and motor blockade with single injection method and double injection method of axillary plexus with 20 ml of I Lignocaine for elective surgeries of forearm and hand. The present study was carried out in 60 patients of either sex undergoing axillary brachial plexus block, using local anaesthetic agent with injection 1.5% lignocaine in the Department of Anaesthesiology and critical care at Kurnool Medical College, Kurnool from July 2013 to August 2014. There was faster onset of sensory and motor block in patients of Group D compared to patients of Group S. In group D 96% of Patients had effective sensory neural blockade compared to 86.6% in patients of Group S. Patients in both Group S and Group D needed at least 20 mins to have complete block. In Group S 27(90%) patients had effective blockade of musculocutaneous nerve while in Group D 28 (93.3%) patients had effective blockade of musculocutaneous nerve. In Group S 20 (66.6%) patients had effective blockade of radial nerve, while in Group D all patients had effective blockade of radial nerve. The duration of analgesia was prolonged in patients of Group D. Inspite of complete motor block of 46% and 86% in patients of Group S and Group D respectively, surgical procedures were conducted without any issues on to the patients. The duration of motor block was 4 hours in patients of Group D whereas 2 hours in patients of Group S. Double injection method for axillary plexus block has good success of sensory and motor blockade compared to single injection method. Axillary plexus block is a simple, reliable and safe technique. It can be used for surgeries of forearm and hand. Axillary plexus block provides excellent quality of sensory and motor block. Double injection method of axillary block has faster onset of sensory and motor block than single injection method.
