Abstract
Background: supraclavicular approach has steadily grown throughout various surgeries as a regional anesthesia technique. Ultrasound is suggested to increase the accuracy and safety. This study was aimed to assess the relationship between effectiveness of head and neck anthropometry and sonographic supraclavicular angle as a safety measure.Methods and Materials: 34 patients were evaluated using an ultrasonography device with a linear probe to assess angle of measurement. Besides, using metric measurements, head and neck anomalies were examined. Pearson coefficient analysis was used for data analysis.Results: Based on the results of this study (Table 2), except for age, gender and neck width of the patients, the results did not show a significant relationship. Also, regression calculation studies clearly indicated a higher correlation and alignment of factors such as width, length and circumference long distance in comparison with short distance.Conclusion: The result showed that there was a correlation between the studied angles and the factors of the study with more emphasis on the effective role of ultrasound in the process of anesthetizing the patient through supraclavicular.- supraclavicular
