  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of difference positioning on extension and efficacy of brachial plexus anesthesia at 20 minutes by using the axillary plexus block with supine positioning and a lateral positioning onto the non-anaesthetized side, combined with 20° Trendelenburg positioning.
