Continuous adductor canal blocks are superior to continuous femoral nerve blocks in promoting early ambulation after TKA.
BACKGROUND Femoral continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNBs) provide effective analgesia after TKA but have been associated with quadriceps weakness and delayed ambulation. A promising alternative is adductor canal CPNB that delivers a primarily sensory blockade; however, the differential effects of these two techniques on functional outcomes after TKA are not well established. QUESTIONS/PUR...
متن کاملSingle-injection and continuous femoral nerve blocks are associated with different risks of falling.
To the Editor: I read with interest the superb retrospective database study of Memtsoudis et al. titled, “Inpatients falls after total knee arthroplasty: The role of anesthesia type and peripheral nerve blocks.”1 Of more than 190,000 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there was a fall incidence of 1.6%. Twelve percent of all patients had a “peripheral nerve block” (PNB), yet,...
متن کاملThe Role of Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks
A continuous peripheral nerve block (cPNB) is provided in the hospital and ambulatory setting. The most common use of CPNBs is in the peri- and postoperative period but different indications have been described like the treatment of chronic pain such as cancer-induced pain, complex regional pain syndrome or phantom limb pain. The documented benefits strongly depend on the analgesia quality and ...
متن کاملInfectious risk of continuous peripheral nerve blocks.
CONTINUOUS peripheral nerve block (CPNB) techniques continue to be increasingly used. CPNB catheter infection is an issue that has received little attention to date. The frequency of infection associated with peripheral nerve catheters remains poorly defined. Although the risk of infection during CPNB is a major issue, the published literature has mainly focused on the conflicting evidence of t...
متن کاملContinuous Adductor Canal Versus Continuous Femoral Nerve Blocks: Relative Effects on Discharge Readiness Following Unicompartment Knee Arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that, following unicompartment knee arthroplasty, a continuous adductor canal block decreases the time to reach 4 discharge criteria compared with a continuous femoral nerve block. METHODS Subjects were randomized to either an adductor canal or femoral perineural catheter (2-day ropivacaine 0.2% infusion) in an unmasked fashion. The primary outcome was the ...
