Summary
This study looked at 78 adults with advanced kidney failure who needed surgery to create a blood vessel connection (fistula) for dialysis. Researchers compared two ways to numb the arm during surgery: a local injection versus a nerve block near the armpit. The goal was to see if the nerve block could reduce early problems like blood clots or poor healing within 6 weeks after surgery.
