Intervention model description: The patients will be randomized to the catheter tip configuration as CEMP (closed-ended multiport catheter) group and OESP (open-ended single port catheter) group
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Infraclavicular nerve catheter for postoperative analgesia will be included in the 70 adult patients undergoing upper extremity surgery included in the study. These patients will be randomized to the catheter tip configuration as CEMP (closed-ended multiport catheter) group and OESP (open-ended single port catheter) group. Patient controlled analgesia device will be attached to the peripheral nerve catheter of these patients. Demographic data of the number of pushing the button, the amount of bolus dose given, the total dose given in the patient controlled anesthesia device, the need for additional analgesia and the amount, pain scores, complications will be recorded for three days postoperatively. Records will be compared statistically.

Detailed description: Ethics committee approval was received on 10 December 2019, numbered 19/398. The study was planned to include 70 adult patients undergoing upper extremity surgery at Gulhane Training and Research Hospital between 10 December 2019 and February 2020. Continue infraclavicular nerve catheter for postoperative analgesia will be included in the patients included in the study. These patients will be randomized to the catheter tip configuration as CEMP(closed-ended multiport catheter) group and OESP(open-ended single port catheter) group. Patient controlled analgesia device will be attached to the peripheral nerve catheter of these patients. Demographic data of the patients who have placed an infraclavicular catheter and used the catheter successfully for three days postoperatively, the number of pushing the button, the amount of bolus dose given and the total dose given in the patient controlled anesthesia device,the amounts of need for additional analgesia and pain scores(Numeric rating Scale), complications will be recorded. Records will be compared statistically.
