ABSTRACT
Introduction: the brachial plexus block is a local anesthesia technique in upper limb surgery with a low incidence of complications and a prolonged period of analgesia. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of the vertical coracoid technique to approach the brachial plexus in upper limb surgery. Method: an observational, analytical, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Orthopedics-Traumatology, and Angiology services of the Abel Santamaría Hospital in Pinar del Río, between 2019 and 2020. The population consisted of 60 patients, distributed in 3 groups; it was studied in its entirety. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed. Results: 24 patients (40%) were between 31 and 40 years old, 42 males (70%), 35 in grade II of the risk classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (58.33%), and 70 had elective surgery (80%). Isolated ulna and radius fractures prevailed with 13 patients each (21.66%). 60% of group III presented a latency period of fewer than 15 minutes (12 patients). Group III analgesia was superior after 8 and 16 postoperative hours, with 18 (90%) and 7 (35%) patients, respectively. Nausea was the main complication (26.66%). Conclusions: the brachial plexus block through the vertical coracoid route shows better effectiveness in upper limb surgery compared to the axillary route and general anesthesia, as it presents less latency time and greater postoperative analgesia.REFERENCES
