A health economic evaluation of the Anaesthesia Choice for Creation of ArteriovEnouS Fistula (ACCess) study: Assessing the cost-effectiveness of arteriovenous fistulae creation under regional anaesthesia compared to local anaesthesia

Alexandru Lucian Gaianu, Philip Bennett, Roberta Brambilla, Emma Aitken et autres

Abstract Background Establishing a reliable arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for haemodialysis (HD) is often complicated by early failure. Utilising regional anaesthesia (brachial plexus block, BPB) for AVF creation has previously been shown to improve short- and long-term AVF patency compared to local anaesthesia …

SRS296 - Factors affecting decision regret following renal transplantation

D. R. KNOWLES, Karen Stevenson, Emma Aitken

Abstract Renal transplantation is the optimal form of renal replacement therapy (RRT). However, for patients with a narrow risk-benefit ratio, the decision to transplant is difficult, with potential for regret. Decision regret is associated with poor quality of life (QoL) and risks …

Integrating portable qPCR and image recognition to combat illegal trade in sharks and rays

Diego Cardeñosa, Zhuang Luo, Kyumin Lee, Emma Aitken et autres

Illegal trade in sharks and rays continues to undermine global conservation efforts, with enforcement often hampered by the inability to identify products to the species level. Here, we present a portable, cost-effective High-Resolution melt (HRM) assay for rapid DNA-based identification of elasmobranch …

A randomised controlled trial comparing the outcomes of arteriovenous fistula for dialysis created under local vs regional anaesthesia: reflections on recruitment and process evaluation study

Emma Aitken, Cecilia Vindrola‐Padros, Nicolas Hall

BACKGROUND: Despite the crucial role that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) play in establishing the efficacy of new treatments, many are terminated early due to difficulty with subject recruitment. Trials of complex perioperative interventions are notoriously difficult to deliver. We describe our experiences …

Evaluating the impact of Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) creation on kidney function

Sri Ram Ramasamy Muthuraman, Emma Aitken

BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation may slow down the decline of kidney function as shown in few previous studies. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of AVF creation on kidney function and dialysis initiation in predialysis patients. METHODS: Predialysis patients with …

Renal Arterial Anatomy: Implications for Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Renal Transplantation

L.W. Miller, Peter Douglas, Julie Glen, Emma Aitken

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel technology that has shown potential in viability assessment and reconditioning of donor organs. Normothermic machine perfusion is technically more challenging in kidneys with multiple renal arteries (RAs). This study aimed to characterize the anatomical variation …
