Comparison of Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block and Local Anesthesia in Arteriovenous Fistula Surgeries and Their Effects on Tissue Oxygen Saturation

Comparison of Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block and Local Anesthesia in Arteriovenous Fistula Surgeries and Their Effects on Tissue Oxygen Saturation With Near-infrared Spectroscopy

In arteriovenous fistula surgery, the effect of infraclavicular brachial plexus block and local anesthesia on tissue oxygenation and the effect of primary patency of the AV fistula is intended to research.

It is planned to include patients who are American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) III and between the ages of 18-80 who will undergo arteriovenous fistula surgery in the research population.In our study, patients who come to the operating room for arteriovenous fistula operation will be randomly divided into two groups.Patients who undergo simple randomization with coin toss method will be assigned to one of two groups: group Local infiltrative anesthesia (Local) and group infraclavicular brachial plexus block with 0.25% bupivacaine (Block). Local infiltrative anesthesia will be applied with 15 ml 2% prilocaine for group Local patients.For Group Block patients, 30 ml 0.25% bupivacaine will be applied with Infraclavicular approach around brachial plexus with inplane technique.Before the start of surgery, NIRS probes will be placed on the thenar ,antecubital regions of both hands and arms .The preoperative observed values and data of every 5 minutes during the operation will be recorded .

Inclusion Criteria:

• ASA III
• 18-80 years old
• arteriovenous fistula operation

Exclusion Criteria:

• disabled patients
• mentally retarded
• patients with coagulopathy
• hemoglobinopathy
• patients with infection in the infraclavicular area
• local anesthetic history
• peripheral neuropathy
• peripheral arterial occlusion
• failed peripheral nerve block
