    AbstractThe combined effects of anesthesia, motor blockade, and chemically induced sympathectomy after brachial plexus blockade can have a beneficial impact, when applied in selected, isolated diseased states of the upper limb. With the aim of using the prolonged effects of brachial plexus blockade for a future therapeutic application, we demonstrated a dependable methodology of venous blood gas monitoring and confirmed an improved oxygen balance of the blocked versus nonblocked upper extremity in a controlled, prospective study in healthy patients undergoing elective hand surgery.
