Research progress on ultrasound-guided costoclavicular space brachial plexus block in pediatric pa-tients
Costoclavicular space(CCS)brachial plexus block is an infraclavicular approach for brachial plexus block.The medial cord,lateral cord and posterior cord of brachial plexus are concentrated on the lateral aspect of the axillary artery in the CCS,with a fixed position relationship,allowing for a suc-cessful block to be achieved with less local anesthetic.Ultrasound-guided CCS brachial plexus block has been gradually applied to pediatric regional anesthesia in recent years.The anatomical position of CCS bra-chial plexus in children is superficial,which is easy to be located by ultrasound.The distance between ves-sels,nerves and pleura is relatively close,and ultrasound guidance improves the efficacy and safety of pedi-atric CCS brachial plexus block.This article reviews the anatomical basis,ultrasound positioning,block methods,medicine dosage,clinical application,and complications of CCS brachial plexus block in children,in order to provide reference for the application of pediatric CCS brachial plexus block.
