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.
