15Intervention

i Types of intervention

Drug

Please specify

ii Description/ name of Intervention/article

This study will determine what the minimum effective volume (MEV) of 0.5% ropivacaine is for 90% patients receiving the costoclavicular approach (CC) of Infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICBPB). Study subjects will be randomized based on ‘biased coin design’ method. Since the MEAV90 of 0.5% Ropivacaine for the CC approach of ICBPB is not known, the initial volume that will be used will be 25 mL based on our clinical experience. Depending on the success or failure of brachial plexus blockade to the previous volume, the volume for the next patient will be adjusted up or down by 2mL. For example, if the block is successful in the previous patient, the next subject will be randomized to a lower volume (89% chances) or to an identical volume (11% chances). In the case of failure, the next patient receives a higher volume.
