Abstract:Objective: To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular with infraclavicular brachial plexus block on diaphragmatic function in the elderly. Methods: A total of sixty patients, scheduled for the right upper limb fracture, aged 65-79 years, falling into ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, were selected and Simple randomly divided into two groups. Group S (ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block) received ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with 0.33% ropivacaine 30ml; Group C (ultrasound-guided supraclavicular with infraclavicular brachial plexus block) received ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with 0.33% ropivacaine 10ml, then received infraclavicular brachial plexus block with 0.33% ropivacaine 20ml. The hemi-diaphragmatic movement was measured by M-mode ultrasonography under a quiet and deep breathing test before the block procedure and 30min after the block. The sensory block of the main nerve roots of the brachial plexus, the onset time and duration of motor block were recorded and the occurrence of adverse reactions was observed. Results: The onset time of sensory block and maintaining time of sensory block or motor block had no statistical difference between the two groups. Compared with Group C, the onset time of motor block in Group S was significantly shorter (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of diaphragm paralysis between the two groups under quiet (P<0.05)and deep(P<0.05) breathing tests 30min after the block。Conclusion:The combination of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block with infraclavicular brachial plexus block can provide good anesthesia, decrease ipsilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, and is a reasonable clinical use for the right upper limb fracture in the elderly.
