Abstract

Background: Brachial plexus blocking is a tested technique for performing upper limb procedures. The traditional approach employing the paresthesia technique is a blind technique that may be associated with a greater failure rate and nerve and surrounding structural harm. Perfusion index (PI) is a new simple, objective, and non-invasive method for the evaluation of the success of central neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks.
