Zusammenfassung

Diese Übersicht stellt die gebräuchlichsten Zugangswege zum Plexus brachialis (zervikal-posterior, interskalenär,supra- und infraklavikulär und axillär) dar und erläutert die Vor- und Nachteile (Indikationen,Kontraindikationen,Komplikationen) der einzelnen Methoden. Dabei wird die Anwendung für die chirurgische Anästhesie ebenso wie für die postoperative Analgesie oder chronische Schmerztherapie, insbesondere hinsichtlich kontinuierlicher Kathetertechniken,erläutert. Hinweise finden sich zu den am häufigsten verwendeten Lokalanästhetika und zu Zusätzen, die bei der Plexus anästhesie in der Literatur beschrieben werden. Ein wesentlicher Schwerpunkt des Beitrages sind darüber hinaus die organisatorischen Strukturen für die erfolgreiche Anwendung der Technik und die erforderliche Dokumentation.Insgesamt stellen Single-Shot- und kontinuierliche regionalanästhesiologische Techniken zur Blockade des Plexus brachialis ein effizientes und nebenwirkungsarmes Verfahren zur Anästhesie und Analgesie für den Schulter-Arm-Bereich dar.
