Popis: Abstract Background The sympathetic block of upper limb leading to increased blood flow has important clinical implication in microvascular surgery. However, little is known regarding the relationship between concentration of local anesthetic and blood flow of upper limb. The aim of this dose–response study was to determine the ED50 and ED95 of ropivacaine in blood flow after supraclavicular block (SB). Methods Patients undergoing upper limb surgery and supraclavicular block were randomly assigned to receive 30ml ropivacaine in concentrations of 0.125%(A Group), 0.2%(B Group), 0.25%(C Group), 0.375%(D Group), 0.5%(E Group), or 0.75%(F Group) (n=13 per group). All patients received supraclavicular block (SB). Time average maximum velocity (TAMAX), cross-sectional area (CSA) of brachial artery and skin temperatures (Ts) were measured repeatedly at the same marked points, they were taken at baseline (before block, t0) and at 30min after SB (t1). Blood flow(BF) = TAMAX× CSA×60 sec.. Relative blood flow (ΔBF) = BFt1/ BFt0. Success of SB was assessed simultaneously. Supplementary anesthesia and other adverse events (AE) were recorded. Results Significant increase in TAMAX, CSA, BF and Ts were seen in all concentration groups at t1 comparing with t0 (P
