Randomized Controlled Trial
Tramadol use for axillary brachial plexus blockade.
We investigated the effects of tramadol added to the mixture of local anesthetic for axillary brachial plexus blockade (ABB) in patients to have undergone hand and forearm surgery. ⋯ Adding 100 mg of tramadol to the combination of levobupivacaine and lidocaine during ABB could not provide an important clinical effect in patients undergoing hand and forearm surgery.
