Abstract

Continuous brachial plexus block in six patients undergoing reimplantation of severed fingers or hand is described. The technique involved placement of a catheter within the neurovascular sheath enclosing the brachial plexus. This enabled us to give the local anaesthetic as required to last the whole duration of surgery.
