Anesthesia of the plexus brachialis in the subclavian fossa. Kim (Zentr. f. Chir., 1928, No. 23)

It is known that Baolg proposed a new method of anesthesia of the brachialis plexus, which consists in introducing a needle at the apex of the proc, coracoidei, parallel to the clavicle, in a medial direction at an angle of 85 to the table, where the patient lies on his back. With this insertion, the needle on the II rib touches the plexus. Kim, making experiments on cadavers, was convinced that in some individuals the ink did not spread throughout the brachialis plexus, so he injected half of the novocaine solution with adrenaline (30-40 cc of 2% solution) according to Balog's method, and the other half was injected by guiding the needle medial to the middle of the subclavian fossa.
