Ultrasound enables accurate vein selection based on anatomical and functional criteria, facilitates safer venipuncture, and broadens access to previously avoided veins (e.g. brachiocephalic, axillary). It also allows real-time guidance for wire direction, tip navigation, and the immediate diagnosis of complications. Tunneling, once exclusive to cuffed catheters, is now increasingly used for non-cuffed devices to optimize the exit site independently of the venipuncture site. This strategy reduces infection, thrombosis, and dislodgment risks by relocating exit from high-risk zones (e.g. groin, neck) to cleaner, more secure areas. Despite widespread adoption of these innovations, current guidelines often confuse puncture and exit sites, leading to outdated recommendations. For example, guidelines labeling femoral or jugular access as high-risk often fail to differentiate between venipuncture and exit locations. Ultrasound-guided femoral puncture with tunneling can yield low-thrombosis, low-infection configurations, especially with mid-thigh or abdominal exit sites. Similarly, supraclavicular puncture of the internal jugular vein with tunneling avoids the traditional high-neck exit and its associated complications. Recommendations promoting subclavian access are also problematic, as safe ultrasound access is often only feasible via supraclavicular routes, not by traditional blind infraclavicular approaches. The field must shift from old anatomical dogma to ultrasound-based, tunneled approaches tailored to each patients need. Clear distinction between venipuncture and exit sites is essential for modern, evidence-based vascular access practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":56113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Access","volume":" ","pages":"11297298251338968"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144036138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diameter (veins and arteries), and the flow, peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsatility index (PI), and pulsatility index ratio (PIR) of the arteries were evaluated before and after anesthesia. Flow was measured in the AVF at the end of the procedure and 30 days after. To analyze pain perception, the visual analog scale (VAS) was applied during anesthesia (T1), during surgery (T2), and at discharge (T3). All analyses were performed using R v. 4.3.1. A <i>p</i>-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Comparing BPB with LA, in the pre- and post-anesthesia periods, there was an increase in the diameters of the cephalic and basilic veins (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and the ulnar artery (<i>p</i> < 0.001). There was a significant increase in the PSV of the radial and brachial (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and ulnar (<i>p</i> = 0.0017) arteries. There was an increase in flow in the radial, ulnar, and brachial arteries (<i>p</i> < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in the PI for the radial (<i>p</i> = 0.0022), ulnar and brachial (<i>p</i> < 0.001) arteries. The BPB group had a significant change in the PIR of the arteries (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Regarding pain perception, the BPB group presented a decrease at T2 (<i>p</i> < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>For this study, in the group that received BPB, there was an increase in the diameters of the arteries and veins as well as the flow and PSV of the arteries, and decreasing the PI, the PIR, and in the perception of intraoperative pain.</p>","PeriodicalId":56113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Access","volume":" ","pages":"11297298251336800"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144043375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
