visualisation of the brachial plexus from the supraclavicular approach with catheter insertion via the infraclavicular approach allows visual control of the insertion and optimum fixation of the catheter while observing the rules of aseptic technique. The continual analgesic technique was used for intermittent application of local anaesthetic in a patient in whom passive physiotherapy of the elbow using a motorised splint was held back by pain.

Keywords: brachial plexus; continual blockade; ultrasound
