Changes in Vessels After Peripheral Block
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In patients with fluid deficit, vasoconstriction occurs in peripheral tissues and blood circulation is kept in the central area. It causes arterial vasodilation and hemodynamic variability by increasing the blood volume of the extremity due to the sympathectomy occurring after the block. When the investigators classify patients according to VCI-CI, it will be questioned whether there is a difference between patients' block quality and hemodynamic variability.

Detailed Description
VCI-CI helps us to have an idea about the amount of fluid in patients according to the vena cava Inferior (VCI) diameter and the diameter between the inspiring and expiration. Low arterial diameter and high inspiratory and expiratory variability indicate that the patient's fluid volume may be lower.
In the measurement of VCI diameter, VCI has visualized in the craniocaudal plane thanks to the transverse ultrasound probe. Changes in VCI diameter are observed depending on the negative pressure in the thoracic area during inspiration and expiration. When the difference between this rate of change is greater than 50%, it indicates that the patient has a fluid deficit. The fact that the VCI diameter is also below 1.5 cm indicates that this amount of fluid requirement is more serious. In this study, the investigators will question whether there is a difference between patients' block quality and hemodynamic variability when they classify patients according to VCI-CI.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Group 1 Inferior vena cava diameter <1.5 cm and VCI-CI > 50% according to Vena Cava Inferior Collapsibility Index (VCI-CI) |
Procedure: Lateral Sagittal Infraclavicular Block
Patients will be in the supine position and after aseptic conditions are provided, the axillary artery of the patient will be visualized in the craniocaudal plane, in the infraclavicular region and in the lateral sagittal position with the help of an 8-12 mHz linear probe. After the brachial plexus cords around the axillary artery are identified, a local anesthetic mixture will be applied in-plane between the posterior cord and the artery. During the block, patients will routinely be given a mixture of 0.25% bupivacaine + 0.5% lidocaine 0.5 mL/kg.
Diagnostic Test: Inferior vena cava diameter <1.5 cm and Vena Cava Inferior Collapsibility Index (VCI-CI) > 50%
While the patients are lying in the supine position, the vena cava will be determined 2 cm before the inferior heart entrance with the help of a 3.5-5 mHz convex probe. M-mode ECHO will be used to determine the fluctuation rate of the VCI between inspiration and expiration. After determining the farthest and closest points in M-mode ECO, their ratios to each other will be calculated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Doppler flow change from baseline to postoperative period [Perioperative period]
Before the block, with the help of 8-12 mHz linear probe, the axillary artery of the patients will be determined in the lateral sagittal plane and their diameters at the time of systole and diastole will be determined. After the arterial diameters are determined, the probe will be positioned to view the artery in a linear line with 90 degree rotation. After imaging the axillary artery in the long axis, confirming it with 5 sequential flows in B-mode Doppler, PSV (Peak systolic velocity), EDV (End diastolic velocity), mV (mean velocity), RI index and PI index probe angulation at 30-60 degree angle, ultrasound will be measured automatically. After the block, the sensory and motor block times of the patients were determined and these times were recorded.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- VAS (Visual Analog Scala) score [Postoperative 24th hour]
The patients were followed up with a VAS score between 0-10 in the postoperative period. A VAS score of 0 was defined as no pain, and 10 as the most severe pain imaginable.
- Analgesic consumption [Postoperative 24th hour]
he value in mg of the amount of analgesic consumed in the postoperative period. It was administered with a PCA device that had regular infusions and was able to deliver bolus doses at regular intervals
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting [Postoperative 24th hour]
The frequency of nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period was calculated according to the Numeric Rank Score (NRS), which ranged from 0 to 3. Nausea-vomiting status of the patients: 0 points if there is no nausea and vomiting; 1 point if there is nausea, no vomiting; It is scored as 2 points if there is vomiting once and 3 points if there are two or more vomiting attacks.
