Abstract
This paper reports a case of simultaneous diaphragmatic and brachial plexus stimulation followed by a successful nerve block using the supraclavicular approach. An explanation for the qualitative differences in phrenic nerve block between interscalene and supraclavicular block is postulated, based on known anatomical variations.
