Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O uso do ultrassom em Anestesia Regional vem crescendo. Existem poucos estudos comparando o uso do ultrassom com a neuroestimulação. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a execução do bloqueio do plexo braquial pela via axilar guiado por neuroestimulação com dupla injeção e guiado por ultrassonografia em procedimentos cirúrgicos na mão. Para isto, foram comparados o tempo de realização, a taxa de sucesso e complicações. MÉTODO: Após a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Hospital Governador Celso Ramos foram selecionados 40 pacientes escalados para operações eletivas na mão com bloqueio de plexo braquial via axilar. Os pacientes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente eletronicamente em dois grupos de 20 pacientes: Grupo Neuroestimulação (NE) e Grupo Ultrassonografia (US). Foram comparados tempo de realização, taxa de sucesso e taxa de complicações. RESULTADOS: As taxas de bloqueio completo, falha parcial e falha total não apresentaram diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos US e NE. O tempo médio para realização do procedimento no grupo US (354 segundos) não apresentou diferença estatística significativa quando comparado ao grupo NE (381 segundos). Pacientes do grupo NE apresentaram maior taxa de punção vascular (40%) quando comparados ao grupo US (10%, p < 0,05). A taxa de presença de parestesia durante a realização do bloqueio foi igual entre os dois grupos (15%). CONCLUSÕES: A taxa de sucesso e tempo para a realização foram semelhantes entre o bloqueio de plexo braquial via axilar guiado por ultrassom quando comparado com o guiado por neuroestimulação com dois estímulos em operações sobre a mão. Maior taxa de punção vascular ocorreu no bloqueio guiado por neuroestimulação.

Abstract

Conceição DB, Helayel PE, Oliveira Filho GR - A Comparative Study between Ultrasound- and Neurostimulation-Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The use of ultrasound in Regional Blocks is increasingly more frequent. However, very few studies comparing ultrasound and neurostimulation have been conducted. The objective of this study was to compare neurostimulation-guided axillary brachial plexus block with double injection and ultrasound-guided axillary plexus block for hand surgeries. The time to perform the technique, success rate, and complications were compared. METHODS: After approval by the Ethics on Research Committee of the Hospital Governador Celso Ramos, 40 patients scheduled for elective hand surgeries under axillary plexus block were selected. Patients were randomly divided into two groups with 20 patients each: Neurostimulation (NE) and Ultrasound (US) groups. The time to perform the technique, success rate, and complication rate were compared. RESULTS: Complete blockade, partial failure, and total failure rates did not show statistically significant differences between the US and NE groups. The mean time to perform the technique in the US group (354 seconds) was not statistically different than that of the NE group (381 seconds). Patients in the NE group had a higher incidence of vascular punctures (40%) when compared with those in the US group (10%, p < 0.05). The rate of paresthesia during the blockade was similar in both groups (15%). CONCLUSIONS: The success rate and time to perform the blockade were similar in ultrasound- and neurostimulation-guided axillary plexus block for hand surgeries. The rate of vascular puncture was higher in neurostimulation-guided axillary plexus block.
