Numbing the right way: could a nerve block improve dialysis access surgery?
NCT ID NCT02722096
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 78 people with advanced kidney failure who needed a surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula (a connection between an artery and vein) for dialysis. The goal was to see if using a nerve block (axillary block) instead of local anesthesia could reduce early problems like blood clots or poor healing. The researchers tracked complications for 6 weeks after surgery to compare the two anesthesia methods.
