Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Arterial Catheterization Complications in Selected Group of Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgeries

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cardiac Surgery

In brief

Radial artery catheterization is the usual method for invasive monitoring in cardiac surgeries. Although it is relatively safe, complications do happen. Hematoma and ischemia are well known complications. Also, radial-to-femoral arterial pressure gradient (RFAPG) post bypass is a common event which affect management of a critical patient in a critical time. the study examines the effect of left stellate ganglion block (LSGB) on decreasing radial artery complications in cardiac surgeries
