Objective: To determine the advantages of supraclavicular blockade of the brachial plexus in
the formation of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis treatment. Comparison of peripheral …

OBJECTIVE: Brachial plexus block offers several advantages when creating vascular
access for hemodialysis. However, no controlled studies have directly evaluated …

Objective: Long term patency of arteriovenous fistula is relevant to management of end
stage renal failure patient on hemodialysis. Increased sympathetic activity and spasm of …

Background: Surgical construction of an arteriovenous fistula is preferred for end-stage renal
failure patients requiring long-term haemodialysis. Methods: Patients were randomised into …

Purpose Assessment of the effectiveness of Brachial Plexus Block (BPB) via axillary
approach compared to regional anesthesia for arteriovenous fistula surgery in patients …

Methods A prospective database of access surgery was used to identify 107 patients who
had proximal radiocephalic, brachiocephalic and basilic transposition fistulas under general …

Background Most patients with chronic renal failure suffer from complications that make
brachial plexus block a good choice for providing anesthesia. The use of ultrasonography …

Purpose To evaluate prospectively the efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided
supraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) for analgesia during endovascular treatment of …

Objective The objective of the present study was to determine whether or not the effects of
peripheral nerve block can be reversed by flushing normal saline down a peripheral nerve …

Background: The primary failure rate for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation under local
anesthesia for hemodialysis is about 30%. Axillary brachial plexus block (BPB) may improve …
