Fifty children, aged 1-2 yr, undergoing radial club hand repair were randomly assigned to receive infraclavicular brachial plexus block guided by nerve stimulator (Group NS) or ultrasound (Group U) in combination with light general anesthetic. Bupivacaine 0.5 mL/kg of 0.5% was injected in both groups. Pain response to surgical stimulus was considered as block failure. The Children's Hospital Eastern Ontario Pain Scale pain score was recorded at 1, 4, 6, 8, and 10 postoperative hours.
