研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare, for the first time ever, single shot popliteal fossa blocks to ankle blocks as primary anesthesia for patients undergoing forefoot procedures. The primary outcome variable for this study is the percentage of patients that convert to general anesthesia following either a single shot popliteal fossa block or ankle block.
H0: There is no difference in the percentage of patients that convert to general anesthesia between single shot popliteal fossa blocks and ankle blocks.
HA: There will be a lower percentage of patients receiving a single shot popliteal fossa block that convert to general anesthesia compared to patients receiving an ankle block.

结局指标
主要结局
Conversion to general anesthesia following either a single shot popliteal fossa block or ankle block
时间窗: Participants will be followed for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 2 hours
Popliteal fossa and ankle blocks are types of anesthesia used during surgery. If these methods are not effective as an anesthetic during surgery the anethesiologist will convert to general anesthesia.
次要结局
- Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS)(24 hours postoperatively)
- Patient Satisfaction(48 hours postoperative)
- Length of Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) stay(Up to 6 hours postoperative)
- Narcotic Use(Up to 30 days postoperative)
