Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Nerve Block
Analgesia
Total Knee Arthroplasty
Interventions
Procedure: ultrasound-guided short-axis placement of catheter at the entrance of the adductor canal
Procedure: ultrasound-guided long-axis placement of catheter at the middle of the adductor canal
Registration Number
NCT03942133
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study compares the tow technique of continues adductor canal block for total knee replacement surgery. Half participants will receive catheterization at the entrance of the adductor canal, while the other half will receive catheterization at the middle point of the adductor canal.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cumulative sulfentanil consumption at 24 hours after surgery24 hours after surgery
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)within 48 hours after surgery
Patient satisfaction with anesthesiawithin 5th day after surgery

Patient satisfaction with anesthesia was assessed using a 5-point scale (5, very satisfied; 4, satisfied; 3, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 2, dissatisfied; 1, very dissatisfied)

complicationswithin 3days after surgery

Record complications including catheter dislodgment, puncture point infection, leakage,falling down,et al.

cumulative sulfentanil consumption at other time points after surgery2,4,8,48 hours postoperatively
the strength of quadriceps femoris0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

Quadriceps strength was assessed on a 0-5 scale as per the Medical Research Council Scale quadriceps motor strength(0 = no voluntary contraction possible, 1 = muscle flicker, but no movement of limb, 2 = active movement only with gravity eliminated, 3 = movement against gravity but without resistance, 4 = movement possible against some resistance and 5 = normal motor strength against resistance)

The pain scores at rest determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)at 0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0, no pain; 10, maximum pain imaginable).

The pain scores on adduction of the keen determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)at 0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0, no pain; 10, maximum pain imaginable).
