Midhumeral Block (MHB) represents one of recently described approaches to anaesthesia of upper extremity. It is based on anaesthesia of fourprinciple nerves in the area of middle and proximal third of humerus. These nerves pass this region separately, off of common tendon. However, theycould be reached from single injection point just with slight angulation of needle point. This block – philosophically a little illogical – has a greateffectiveness, based on wide patient populations. It leaves behind its greatest competitor, axillary block. Personal experience with 53 blocks aredescribed. Based on this experience, the author recommends this approach as simple and highly effective technique.
Key words: plexus brachialis – regional anaesthesia – neurostimulation – axially black
