Key result
Supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in patients with chronic renal failure demonstrated normal latency but a shorter than expected duration of anesthesia in every case.
Why the study?
Does chronic renal failure affect the latency and duration of supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks?
Does chronic renal failure affect the latency and duration of supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks?
In patients with chronic renal failure, supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks exhibit normal latency but a shorter than expected duration of anesthesia.
May prompt earlier supplementation in chronic renal failure; leaves open confirmation in prospective studies.
Twenty-eight supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks were performed in 22 patients with chronic renal failure, using six local anesthetic solutions. Latency of anesthesia was similar to that in a normal population; but duration of anesthesia was shorter than expected in every case. The overall durati
