title: [Axillary plexus anesthesia in noncooperative patients].
abstract: In 36 non-cooperative patients we performed block of the axillary brachial plexus by using a well recognized catheter technique. A flexible, disposable intravenous cannula was placed into the axillary neurovascular sheath and used for injection of local anaesthetic solution without adverse sequelae. Analgesia for acute and elective surgical procedures was obtained rapidly and independent of any patient's assistance in all cases. Catheter axillary block seems to be a valuable anaesthetic technique in the difficult and risky management of non-cooperative patients.
