Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to compare the role of ultrasound-guided and landmark-guided intercostobrachial nerve block and serratus plane block after supraclavicular plexus block for anesthesia in the creation of an arteriovenous fistula in the medial side of the arm.
Detailed Description
Brachial plexus block (BPB) is usually utilized for proximal arm arteriovenous access creation. It has been suggested that supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCPB) could be an alternative and provide comparable effective anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for arm surgery, with a reduced incidence of adverse events, including hemidiaphragmatic paresis. By performing SCPB, the inner part of the arm is not completely anesthetized because this part of the arm is innervated by the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve (intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN)) and the medial branch of the brachial cutaneous nerve. Serratus plane block (SPB) was first defined in 2013 by Blanco et al. This block provides anesthesia and analgesia in the hemi-thorax, where it is applied to block the thoracic intercostal nerves, in addition to the axillary region and shoulder posteriorly.
