About this study

Official title: Regional Blockade for Knee Prothesis Surgery: Comparison Between Femoral, Sciatic and Adductor Canal Block

Comparison of the analgesics blocks (femoral, adductor canal and sciatic subgluteal nerve) for total replacement knee surgery.

Read the detailed description

Adductor canal block shows a beneficial effect for knee surgery. Mainly because he prevent for muscular weakness; adverse effect meet with femoral block and delaying the early active mobilization.

The investigators want to compare the efficacy and safety of this block compared to the femoral and sciatic block.

Being tested
Analgesic nerve blockade (Ropivacaine), Total knee replacement surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Femoral nerve blockadeActive comparatorIn this group, patient will benefit of an ultrasound guided femoral nerve blockade with continuous catheter infusion as (initial bolus of 20ml of ropivacaine 0.75% follow with 7ml/hour of ropivacaine 0.2%) as analgesic nerve blockade for total knee replacement surgery.
Receives: Drug: Analgesic nerve blockade (Ropivacaine); Procedure: Total knee replacement surgery.
Adductor canal blockadeActive comparatorIn this group, patient will benefit of an ultrasound guided adductor canal blockade with continuous catheter infusion (initial bolus of 20ml of ropivacaine 0.75% follow with 7ml/hour of ropivacaine 0.2%) as analgesic nerve blockade for for total knee replacement surgery.
Receives: Drug: Analgesic nerve blockade (Ropivacaine); Procedure: Total knee replacement surgery.
Subgluteal sciatic nerve blockadeActive comparatorIn this group, patient will benefit of an ultrasound guided subgluteal sciatic nerve blockade with continuous catheter infusion (initial bolus of 20ml of ropivacaine 0.75% follow with 7ml/hour of ropivacaine 0.2%) as analgesic nerve blockade for total knee replacement surgery.
Receives: Drug: Analgesic nerve blockade (Ropivacaine); Procedure: Total knee replacement surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain measurement with numeric pain scale : from 0 to 10 (maximal pain) in rest condition

    Pain assessment and evolution in postoperative period (passive condition)

    Measured: up to day 7

  2. Pain measurement with numeric pain scale (from 0 to 10) during active motorized mobilization (Kinetic)

    Pain assessment and evolution in postoperative period (active condition)

    Measured: up to day 7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postintervention nausea vomiting

    question : present or not

    Measured: at hour 0, at hours 6, at day 1

  2. Patient satisfaction

    Questionnaire of patient felling and satisfaction. Choice within gradual felling : bad, middle, good, excellent

    Measured: at day 1

  3. Opioid consumption

    doses of piritramid (synthetic opioid) administrated with patient control rescue analgesia device.

    Measured: up to 48 hours
