Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference/percentage change in cephalic vein diameter before and after stellate ganglion light irradiation (mm/%) (with the use of tourniquet: 150mmHg; more than 10 seconds; measured using ultrasound) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (with the use of tourniquet: 150mmHg; more than 10 seconds; measured using ultrasound) 1. The difference/percentage change rate in vessel diameter before and after stellate ganglion light irradiation (mm/%): A) Radial artery B) Median artery C) Deep vein D)Brachial artery. 2. The pain VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) immediately after surgery. 3. Surgical duration. 4. The change of the planned fistula creation site from upper arm to forearm. 5. The fistula patency rate at 1 month: Confirmed by fistula sound, thrill, and ultrasound. | — |
