What this Trial Is About
The ultrasound-guided retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular region (RAPTIR) brachial plexus block has gained popularity as a relatively easy-to-perform nerve block that provides reliable and dense anesthesia to the upper extremity with a single injection. The block has been well described in the anesthesia community since it was first introduced by Hebbard and Royse in 2007 . In 2017, Luftig first described the block's use in the ED setting for a variety of indications . This nerve block has classically been described to provide extensive anesthesia for procedures distal to the shoulder, such as elbow dislocations, distal radius fractures, and surgical procedures.
