Brachial plexus block is a regional anesthesia technique that is sometimes employed as an alternative or as an adjunct to general anesthesia for surgery of the upper extremity. This technique involves the injection of local anesthetic agents in close proximity to the brachial plexus, temporarily blocking the sensation and ability to move the ...
Elbow. The elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint. [1] The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon, the cubital fossa (also called the chelidon, or the elbow pit), and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus.
Cubital tunnel. Back of right upper extremity, showing surface markings for bones and nerves. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The cubital tunnel is a space of the dorsal medial elbow which allows passage of the ulnar nerve around the elbow. Persistent compression of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel is known as cubital tunnel ...
The cubital fossa, antecubital fossa, chelidon, or inside of elbow is the area on the anterior side of the upper part between the arm and forearm of a human or other hominid animals. It lies anteriorly to the elbow (antecubital) (Latin cubitus) when in standard anatomical position. The cubital fossa is a triangular area having three borders.
TA2. 1773. FMA. 38854. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The humeroulnar joint (ulnohumeral or trochlear joint[1]) is part of the elbow-joint. It is composed of two bones, the humerus and ulna, and is the junction between the trochlear notch of ulna and the trochlea of humerus. [1] It is classified as a simple hinge-joint, which allows ...
Intraosseous infusion (IO) is the process of injecting medication, fluids, or blood products directly into the bone marrow; [1] this provides a non-collapsible entry point into the systemic venous system. [2] The intraosseous infusion technique is used to provide fluids and medication when intravenous access is not available or not feasible.
Brachial artery. Right upper limb, anterior view, brachial artery and elbow. The brachial artery is the major blood vessel of the (upper) arm. It is the continuation of the axillary artery beyond the lower margin of teres major muscle. It continues down the ventral surface of the arm until it reaches the cubital fossa at the elbow.
Clinical significance. The radial artery lies superficially in front of the distal end of the radius, between the tendons of the brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis; it is here that clinician takes the radial pulse. (where it is commonly used to assess the heart rate and cardiac rhythm).
