Verapamil as an Adjunct to Local Anaesthetic for Brachial Plexus Blocks.
Calcium channel blockers potentiate the effects of local anaesthetics. We examined the effect of adding verapamil to local anaesthetic solution on anaesthetic duration in patients undergoing surgery under brachial plexus block. ⋯ We conclude that adding verapamil to brachial plexus block can prolong sensory anaesthesia without any effect on analgesic duration.
