Abstract

The authors describe the construction of an electronic model for teaching the supraclavicular and interscalene approaches to brachial plexus block. Realistic feedback is provided to indicate contact with the plexus or pleura. All components are readily available, and cost of construction should be less than $150 provided a skeleton is available to provide a frame for the model.

  • Brachial plexus
  • Regional anesthesia
  • Resident training
