Patients undergoing primary (Radiocephalic fistula) RCF or (Brachiocephalic fistula) creation research hub

Investigating local or regional anaesthesia during surgery to create a connection between an artery and a vein

This UK study looks at two ways to numb the arm during surgery to create a dialysis fistula. Doctors want to see if using a nerve block, which numbs the whole arm, helps the fistula work better and last longer than numbing just the small surgical area.
