Brachial plexus block using a nerve stimulator is an accurate procedure. But prolonged analgesic effect can not be obtained. Therefore we used "around the needle" catheter technique to have a long analgesic effect. ⋯ The success rate is about 90%. If we stimulate other nerves in the same sheath, it is not necessary to seek aimed one. But the musculocutaneous nerve is the only exception, because it may be stimulated outside the neurovascular sheath.
