Brachial Plexus Blocks
Brachial Plexus Blocks
The intermediate curriculum asks for knowledge of the 'advantages and disadvantages, techniques and complications of... major peripheral blocks of the limbs'.
The core curriculum is a bit more specific, requiring knowledge of 'the principles of performing... brachial plexus blocks: axillary, interscalence and supraclavicular'.
The topic was a CRQ in September 2022 (79% pass rate) and 'well answered' although candidates fell down on the anatomy sections.
- Interscalene brachial plexus block
- Supraclavicular brachial plexus block
