Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To investigate whether increased dose of local anesthetic (lidocain)<br>increases duration of peripheral nerve block (adductor canal block);Secondary Objective: To develop a model for assessing duration of peripheral nerve blockades;Primary end point(s): Difference in duration of sensory block between different doses of<br>lidocain assessed with pinprick.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Duration is defined as the time from block performance until recovery of sensation to pin-prick stimulus, assessed at 30 and 60 minutes post<br>block, and thereafter every hour.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Difference in duration of sensory block between different doses of<br>lidocain assessed with:<br>- heat pain detection threshold<br>- warmth detection threshold<br>- pain during 1 minute of warmth stimulation<br>- tolerance to transcutane electrical stimulation<br>- cold sensation<br>Difference in duration of motor block between different doses of lidocain<br>assessed as maximum voluntary isometric contraction.<br>Difference in onset of sensory blockade between different doses of<br>lidocain, assessed with pinprick.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Duration is defined as time from block performance until recovery of<br>normal sensation/ muscle strength, assessed at 30 and 60 minutes post<br>block, and thereafter every hour.<br>Onset is defined as the time from block performance until loss of<br>sensation to pin-prick stimulus assessed at 30 and 60 minutes post<br>block, and thereafter every hour.
