Abstract:
Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of various brachial plexus block techniques using local anesthesia(LA)in patients undergoing their first radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula(RCAVF)surgery.Methods Patients were randomly allocated into three groups:LA,interscalene brachial plexus block(ISBPB),and axillary brachial plexus block(ABPB).Ultrasound was utilized to evaluate the pre-and post-anesthesia changes in vessel diameter and blood flow.Postoperative follow-up assessments were performed at three days and three months to determine fistula patency.Results Immediate patency rates were 92.52%(LA),96.26%(ISBPB),and 95.33%(ABPB),with no statistically significant differences among the groups(χ2=1.615,P=0.446).However,at three months,primary patency rates differed significantly among the groups(χ2=22.691,P<0.001).Specifically,the ISBPB group(83.18%)exhibited significantly higher patency compared to the LA group(57.01%)(χ2=17.477,P<0.001).Similarly,the ABPB group(80.37%)demonstrated better patency than the LA group(χ2=13.580,P<0.001).Regarding respiratory complications,they were more prevalent in the ISBPB group(15.89%)compared to the LA group(2.80%)(χ2=9.761,P=0.002)and the ABPB group(0.93%)(χ2=14.377,P<0.001).No significant difference was observed between the LA and ABPB groups in terms of respiratory complications(χ2=1.019,P=0.313).Conclusions Both ISBPB and ABPB demonstrated superior primary patency compared to LA.Nevertheless,ABPB exerted a lesser impact on respiratory function and provided a more comfortable surgical experience for ESRD patients.
