brachial plexus block needs cooperation. it is not the best choice here. reason 1, pt seems have alcohol toxicity with full stomach. reason 2, acholol pt may have coagulation issues which may cause hematoma in this case, well seemly unlike here. but needs to be considered for
before live function test confirm it. reason 3, with a full stomach and uncooperative patient, if there is a intravascular injection during the brachial plexus block, then aspiration is likely. reason 4, for a uncooperative pt, there are technical difficulties. in this case no Sedation should be given for procedure, so block might not work fully. so is angesia needs to supply during the case, it will add to the problem of vomiting and depressing airway. reason 5, acute injury of hand and fingers may involve nerve damage. for the reason of liability, if there is nerve dysfunction afternoon procedure, then brachial block will be questioned for contribution to the never injury at higher level. so for all those reasons, in this case, GA is reasonable and practical.
