Modified Supraclavicular Block with T2 Paravertebral Block in a Patient with Large Upper Extremity Sarcoma

Part of Topic

Medically Challenging Cases

Case Report:
•An 86-year-old female with a history of left upper extremity peripheral nerve sheath tumor presented for tumor resection with pedicled left latissimus dorsi. 
•This patient presented a unique challenge, as adequate pain relief of the upper limb and shoulder was required while minimizing the risk of tumor seeding.
•Using ultrasound guidance, 10cc of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered to the T2 paravertebral space. Additionally, a total of 30cc of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the brachial plexus, with 15cc focused on the superior trunk and the suprascapular nerve
•The patient experienced no postoperative complications, resulting in reduced postoperative pain, decreased opioid consumption, earlier engagement in physical therapy, and greater patient satisfaction.
•Patient-informed consent was obtained for submission of a case report. As the case report is devoid of patient-identifiable information, it is exempt from IRB review, as per the University of Illinois Health policy.

Main Conclusions:
•MODIFIED SCB WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON THE SUPERIOR TRUNK AND SUPRASCAPULAR NERVE & T2 PVB PROVIDED ADEQUATE ANALGESIA TO THE UPPER •EXTREMITITY AND AXILLA
The morning following her procedure, the patient endorsed 0 out of 10 pain with decreased sensation over her left deltoid and upper extremity. Sensation was regained at postoperative 24 hours, and pain remained at 0 out of 10.
