About

The aim of this study is to measure the effects of sympathetic blockade caused by peripheral nerve blocks performed with the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene approach on tissue oxygenation with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), to evaluate and compare the radial artery flow velocity and diameter in the blocked extremity, and to investigate whether there is a relationship with the quality of the sensory and motor block.

Full description

It has been reported that vasodilation after peripheral nerve blocks increases tissue oxygenation and increases arterial circulation on the ipsilateral side . Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive measurement method of tissue oxygen level, is used to measure regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial, venous and capillary blood .

Many studies have compared the effects of upper extremity peripheral nerve blocks on the onset, quality, extent, and postoperative pain of sensory and motor block through axillary, infraclavicular, supraclavicular and interscalene approaches.

The aim of this study is to measure the effects of sympathetic blockade caused by peripheral nerve blocks performed with the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene approach on tissue oxygenation with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), to evaluate and compare the radial artery flow velocity and diameter in the blocked extremity, and to investigate whether there is a relationship with the quality of the sensory and motor block.

Trial design

99 participants in 3 patient groups

Axillary Brachial Plexus Block

Description:

Our study includes 3 groups, 33 patients each who underwent axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene blocks. In the study, which of the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene blocks will be preferred, will be decided by an experienced anesthesiologist in accordance with the type of surgery to be performed. Demographic data, comorbidities, and smoking will be questioned in each group, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, radial artery diameter and flow velocities will be recorded before peripheral nerve block is applied, and tissue oxygenation will be measured with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the extremities with and without block. Tissue oxygenation, radial artery flow velocity and diameters, body temperature will be measured simultaneously at 0(basal)-5-10-15-20-25 and 30th minutes after the application of the block. test will be applied and the success of the procedure will be determined accordingly.
