title: [A new positioning aid for administering axillary plexus anesthesia].
abstract: A "plexus-table" is introduced as a new help to place an arm for application of the axillary plexus block. A modified Maquet arm posturing device offers a sufficient big plate, which is adjustable in all planes. The plate is fixed closely to the operation table. A more comfortable placement of the patient's arm is possible, due to the reduction of the externally rotation of the shoulder. The new table can be adapted to patients with restrictions of the movements of the shoulder. For the anaesthetist this results in a good presentation of the axillary region.
