Regional anesthesia with peripheral nerve blocks can help avoid the postoperative morbidity associated with general anesthesia. Despite regional anesthesia as an option for patients, a recent large database study found that up to 90% of cases were still performed under general anesthesia. The aim of our study was to further evaluate if there is a significant difference in surgical outcomes that supports the use of regional over general anesthesia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This was a single institution retrospective cohort study of patients who received lower extremity amputations from January 1, 2019 until December 31, 2023. Above- and below-knee amputations were included, and all amputations were performed by vascular surgeons. Patients were divided into three groups based on the anesthesia type they received during the case: general anesthesia, general and regional block, and regional block only. Patient characteristics, preoperative comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes were then studied for each group. Continuous variables were summarized by medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs), while categorical variables were summarized by frequencies and percentages. As there were repeated measures for several patients, GEE (generalized estimating equations) models with anesthesia group as the response were fit to assess differences between anesthesia groups. Multivariable models were fit assuming a binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, or multinomial distribution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 176 amputations were included in this study of whom 55 (35%) received regional block only, 94 (60%) received general anesthesia and block, and 27 (15%) received only general anesthesia. Above knee amputations were performed in 74 (42%) and below knee amputations were performed in 102 (58%) of patients in the study. The block only group was significantly associated with an older population (p = 0.006) and significantly associated with higher percentages of CHF (p = 0.001), CKD (p = 0.006), and diabetes (p = 0.002). The general only group had higher postoperative morbidity, with significantly higher percentages of PE (p &lt; 0.001), DVT (p &lt; 0.001), pneumonia (p = 0.032), and post-op ventilator use (p &lt; 0.001). The general only group had significantly longer hospital length of stay (p = 0.03) and higher rates of expiration (p = 0.002). On multivariable analysis, receiving general anesthesia only was significantly associated with a 30-day (p=0.009), 60-day (p=0.009), and 1 year mortality (p = 0.006).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our study demonstrates that the use of general anesthesia for lower extremity amputation has a significant and independent correlation with higher 30-day, 60-day, and 1-year mortality rates.

Clinical guidelines recommend against the use of radiation-protective gloves (PGs) during FGIs given the concern for higher radiation accumulation related to increased procedure scatter fraction (PSF).

In the clinical setting, optically stimulated luminescence detectors were placed bilaterally at the volar and dorsal aspects of the operator's hands at the radioulnar joint and base of the ring finger. Control dots were positioned on the sternum. All operators were trained in applying as low as reasonably achievable principles. In the simulation, fluorography was performed on a 25 × 50 cm, 15-cm thick acrylic phantom for an exposure of 250 mGy reference air kerma. An anthropomorphic hand was placed at 7.5-cm intervals along the length of the table from the point of the fingertips at the center of the x-ray beam, 0 to 30 cm caudally. Radiation dose was calculated based on a calibration coefficient factor to estimate radiation at 80 kVp. The PSF was estimated by normalizing the sternum dose measurement with the dose area product.

The SOW surgeon performed a total of 598 cases, averaging a median of 11.5 cases per week (interquartile range [IQR], 9-14 cases per week). The median weekly operative time was 28.6 hours (IQR, 21.0-33.5 hours). The most common indications for primary vascular operations included acute limb ischemia (n = 31), aortic disease (n = 44), carotid disease (n = 32), hemodialysis access (n = 71), major amputations (n = 112), mesenteric ischemia (n = 23), peripheral artery disease (n = 105), and wound complications (n = 87). Urgent and emergent procedures comprised 21.7% of all operations. An additional 61 intraoperative consultations were requested from 14 other surgical services over the study period. Compared with the pre-SOW period, preoperative length of stay for inpatient operations was shorter in the SOW period (2 days [IQR, 0-7 days] vs 3 days [IQR, 1-8 days]; P < .0001). Elective case cancellations (4.0% vs 3.7%; P = .55) and the proportion of weekend operations (8.3% vs 8.1%; P = .75) were similar between periods.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In this study, we report our experience following implementation of the SOW model at a tertiary academic medical center. This alternative model for ACVS coverage enabled the SOW to perform a wide breadth of primary vascular operations and provide intraoperative assistance to many other surgical services, without being encumbered by competing responsibilities. Furthermore, the SOW model was associated with more efficient delivery of inpatient care, as reflected in a reduced time-to-operating room. Other medical centers with similar, high-volume ACVS responsibilities may also benefit from implementing a SOW model.</p>","PeriodicalId":17475,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144258364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
