Objective To investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided nerve block anesthesia in the treatment of clavicle fractures. Methods The observation subjects were 76 patients with clavicle fractures, admitted from December 2024 to November 2025, randomly divided into two groups. Patients who received ultrasound-guided nerve block anesthesia were included in Group W (n=38), and patients who received traditional conventional anesthesia were included in Group E (n=38). The study compared the physical indicators, anesthesia effect, sedation level, and incidence of adverse reactions between Group W and Group E. Results Patients in Group W exhibited significantly better arterial oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate compared to those in Group E (P<0.05). The time to full recovery in Group W was markedly shorter than in Group E, with significantly lower agitation scores and pain scores (P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of arrhythmia, respiratory depression, and hypoxia in Group W was significantly lower than in Group E (P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound guided nerve block anesthesia is more effective in the treatment of clavicle fractures and is worthy of widespread use.
