The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the possibilities of selective peripheral nerve blocks of the upper extremity suitable for minor surgical procedures and invasive analgesic treatment. The development of ultrasound assistance allows for more precise localization of the course of nerves and offers the possibility of selective blockades with minimal impact on postoperative mobility. To facilitate needle tip navigation, the article emphasizes the relationship of nerve pathways to vascular, muscular, and fascial structures.

Keywords: regional anaesthesia of the upper limb, ultrasound assistance, brachial plexus.
