Adductor Canal block with 0.5% ropivacaine for postoperative pain relief in lower limb surgeries performed under spinal anesthesia

Adductor Canal Block for Knee Surgeries: An Emerging Analgesic Technique

In recent years, adductor canal block (ACB) has been introduced as an alternative for femoral nerve block with a great advantage of preserving or minimally reducing quadriceps strength. The technique is relatively easy and is performed under ultrasound guidance. Despite growing evidence regarding efficacy and safety of ACB following knee surgery, use of ACB is still limited to high volume ortho...

Adductor Canal Block for Post-Operative Pain Relief in Knee Surgeries: A Review Article

The adductor canal block (ACB) is newer compartment block of the saphenous nerve, which is a branch of femoral nerve, performed at the level of lower third of the thigh so that much of the motor innervation of the quadriceps group is spared, thus preserving much of the quadriceps strength making early ambulation and rehabilitation safer. The most significant advantage of the ACB over femoral ne...

Comparison of Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Wound Site Infiltration and Ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block with 0.5% Ropivacaine in Lower Abdominal Surgeries under Spinal Anesthesia

Context Optimization and providing excellent quality of postoperative analgesia after total abdominal hysterectomy is a determinant factor of better clinical outcome, increases patient satisfaction, and allows early mobilization of the patient. Aims The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of wound site infiltration (WSI) and ultrasound-guided transversus abdom...

Efficacy and Appropriate Dosage of Isobaric Ropivacaine for Spinal Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries

Background: The dose response of ropivacaine has not been extensively determined yet. This study was conducted to estimate minimum effective local anaesthetic dose and to assess the duration of sensory and motor block, and side effects if any, of intrathecal administration of ropivacaine for lower limb surgeries. Materials and Methods: 120 patients aged between 20 years and 60 years of either s...
