Continuous adductor canal block versus continuous femoral nerve block for postoperative pain in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306249. [PMID: 39088521 PMCID: PMC11293650 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Continuous adductor canal block (CACB) is almost a pure sensory nerve block and can provide effective analgesia without blocking the motor branch of the femoral nerve. Thus, the objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy of CACB versus continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) on analgesia and functional activities in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (from inception to 3 October 2023) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared CACB with CFNB in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Registration in the PROSPERO International prospective register of the meta-analysis was completed, prior to initiation of the study (registration number: CRD42022363756). Two independent reviewers selected the studies, extracted data and evaluated risk of bias by quality assessment. Revman 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis and the summary effect measure were calculated by mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Eleven studies with a total of 748 patients were finally included. Pooled analysis suggested that both CACB and CFNB showed the same degree of pain relief at rest and at motion at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Compared with CFNB, CACB preserved the quadriceps muscle strength better (P<0.05) and significantly shortened the discharge readiness time (P<0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in opioid consumption, knee extension and flexion, timed up and go (TUG) test, or risk of falls between the two groups. Thus, Compared with CFNB, CACB has similar effects on pain relief both at rest and at motion and opioid consumption for patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, while CACB is better than CFNB in preserving quadriceps muscle strength and shortening the discharge readiness time.

Impact of self-coiling catheters for continuous popliteal sciatic block on postoperative pain level and dislocation rate: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2022; 22:159. [PMID: 35610566 PMCID: PMC9128226 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01700-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Dislocation of catheters within the tissue is a challenge in continuous regional anesthesia. A novel self-coiling catheter design is available and has demonstrated a lower dislocation rate in a cadaver model. The dislocation rate and effect on postoperative pain of these catheters in vivo has yet to be determined and were the subjects of this investigation. Methods After ethics committee approval 140 patients undergoing elective distal lower limb surgery were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Preoperatively, patients were randomly assigned and received either the conventional (n = 70) or self-coiling catheter (n = 70) for ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block in short axis view and by the in-plane approach from lateral to medial. The primary outcome was pain intensity after surgery and on the following three postoperative days. Secondary outcomes investigated were dislocation rate in situ determined by sonography, catheter movement visible from outside, opioid consumption as well as leakage at the puncture site. Results All catheters were successfully inserted. The study population of self-coiling catheters had significantly lower mean numeric rating scale values than the reference cohort on the first (p = 0.01) and second postoperative days (p < 0.01). Sonographic evaluation demonstrated, 42 standard catheters (60%) and 10 self-coiling catheters (14.3%) were dislocated in situ within the first three postoperative days. The externally visible movement of the catheters at insertion site did not differ significantly between groups through the third postoperative day. The opioid consumption was significantly lower in the self-coiling catheter group on the day of surgery and on the second and third postoperative days (p = 0.04, p = 0.03 and p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusion The self-coiling catheter offers a better postoperative pain control and a lower dislocation rate within the tissue when blocking the popliteal sciatic nerve compared to a conventional catheter. Further trials in large patient cohorts are warranted to investigate the potential beneficial effects of self-coiling catheters for other localisations and other application techniques. Trial registration The trial was registered at German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) on 08/04/2020 (DRKS00020938, retrospectively registered).

Abstract
Background and objectives: Patients often suffer from moderate to severe pain during the early recovery period in orthopedic surgery. We investigated the impact of a single-shot preoperative peripheral nerve block (PNB) on post-anesthesia recovery parameters and interleukin (IL)-6 level during limb surgery. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted, and patients scheduled for limb surgery were recruited. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to either the PNB group or control group, who received morphine as a primary analgesic. The peak verbal numeric rating scale (NRS) score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) was evaluated as a primary outcome. We also recorded rescue analgesics requirement and wake-up time from anesthesia in the PACU. In addition, the change of plasma IL-6 level after incision was measured. Results: Fifty-two patients completed the study, 27 and 25 cases in the PNB and control group, respectively. Preemptive PNB significantly reduced peak NRS score in the PACU compared to control group. Lower rescue analgesics requirement and rapid wake-up from anesthesia were also noted in PNB group. The IL-6 concentration increased less in the PNB group at 2 h after incision. Conclusions: Preemptive PNB attenuates IL-6 expression 2 h after incision and improves pain management in the PACU. PNB was considered as an essential part of pain management in limb surgery.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common surgeries performed to relieve joint pain in patients with end‐stage osteoarthritis or rheumatic arthritis of the knee. However, TKA is followed by moderate to severe postoperative pain that affects postoperative rehabilitation, patient satisfaction, and overall outcomes. Historically, opioids have been widely used for perioperative pain management of TKA. However, opioids are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as nausea, respiratory depression, and retention of urine, which limit their application in daily clinical practice. The aim of this review was to discuss the current postoperative pain management regimens for TKA. Our review of the literature demonstrated that multimodal analgesia is considered the optimal regimen for perioperative pain management of TKA and improves clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction, through a combination of several types of medications and delivery routes, including preemptive analgesia, neuraxial anesthesia, peripheral nerve blockade, patient‐controlled analgesia and local infiltration analgesia, and oral opioid/nonopioid medications. Multimodal analgesia provides superior pain relief, promotes recovery of the knee, and reduces opioid consumption and related adverse effects in patients undergoing TKA.
