Overview

Retrospective review shows axillary brachial plexus block lowers pain during angioplasty in vascular access, indicating effective analgesia regardless of access type.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the effectiveness of axillary brachial plexus block for pain management during angioplasty procedures.
  • Retrospective evaluation of patient data including pain severity during angioplasty.
  • Assessment of pain using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
  • A total of 342 patients were reviewed for the presence of the brachial plexus block.
  • 156 patients received axillary brachial plexus block during angioplasty.
  • NRS scores were significantly lower in those who received the block compared to those who did not.
  • The effectiveness of the block was consistent across different types of vascular access and dilation sites.
