Figure 2 An alternative technique to locate the interscalane brachial plexus. Start with the transducer in the supraclavicular fossa. Locate the subclavian artery (SCA) in cross-section and note the brachial plexus just lateral (dotted blue line). Slide up the neck until the interscalene brachial plexus (BP) is located in between the anterior scalene (AS) and middle scalene (MS) muscles.
