Summary

BACKGROUND

Orthopedic surgery can be severely painful, and peripheral regional anesthesia is highly recommended as part of the perioperative pain treatment. Whether catheter-based techniques are better than single injection techniques are debatable. Furthermore, in catheter-based techniques, whether a low-dose automated, periodic infusion can produce similar analgesic effectiveness compared to a conventional, high dose, continuous infusion has never been explored.

AIM

Comparison of the analgesic effectiveness of a low-dose automated, periodic infusion, a conventional continuous infusion and patient-controlled boluses only in catheter-based nerve blocks for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery to the foot or ankle.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

DRUG

Ropivacaine 0.2%

Perineural infusion of Ropivacaine 0.2% using a peripheral nerve block catheter and a portable infusion pump.
