Key result
Regional nerve blocks effectively enhance multimodal anesthesia for patients undergoing axillobifemoral bypass surgery.
Why the study?
Regional anesthesia under ultrasound control may effectively anesthetize patients undergoing axillobifemoral bypass and reduce or eliminate narcotic analgesic use, potentially speeding recovery.
Regional anesthesia techniques, specifically Pecs II and Fascia iliaca compartment blocks, are proposed as effective components of multimodal anesthesia to reduce narcotic use during axillobifemoral bypass.

May support regional blocks in axillobifemoral bypass multimodal care; leaves open randomized confirmation.
The main method of treatment for patients with severe limb ischemia is surgical revascularization, the purpose of which is to bypass the blockage of an occluded large vessel by creating an alternative path of blood flow with the help of an artificial graft. Surgical revascularization, including axillobifemoral bypass (AXFBG), aims to relieve symptoms, reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, and preserve limb function. The modern development of regional anesthesia under ultrasound control allows to effectively anesthetize of patients in the intra- and postoperative period and for the reduction or completely abandon the use of narcotic analgesics, which speeds up the patient’s recovery period after surgery. Taking into account the anatomical sites-areas of AXFBG surgery, regional anesthesia can be chosen as the type of anesthesia: Pecs II thoracic nerve block, and Fascia iliaca compartment block, which have proven to be effective as a component of multimodal anesthesia and analgesia.

Sukhonos et al. (2023) conducted a review in Severe limb ischemia requiring axillobifemoral bypass. Regional anesthesia (Pecs II thoracic nerve block and Fascia iliaca compartment block) was evaluated. Regional anesthesia, including Pecs II and Fascia iliaca compartment blocks, is an effective component of multimodal anesthesia for patients undergoing axillobifemoral bypass surgery.
