138 Saudi Journal of Anesthesia / Volume 17 / Issue 1 / January-March 2023 analgesia with this new technique after humerus fracture surgery. We believe that successful and time‐sparing results in these cases are due to facilitated visualization of the brachial plexus and sufficient needle space ensured with this modified technique. Due to 60° of cephalad needle localization and possible protection of pleura with visualization of Sibson’s fascia, this technique may help avoid hemi diaphragmatic paralysis.
