The Efficacy of Pain Control After Total Hip Replacement Between Ultrasound Guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block and Intrathecal Morphine

Not Applicable
Conditions
Total Hip Replacement
Ultrasound Guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block
Intrathecal Morphine
Postoperative Pain
Interventions
Drug: Intrathecal morphine
Drug: Ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block
Registration Number
NCT04104204
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

Total hip replacement is one of major orthopedic surgery which result in severe postoperative pain especially at first 24 hours. Ultrasound guided regional anesthesia has become a part of multimodal analgesia.Ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block is a new technique which can consistently cover femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. And with large volume (40ml), it may cover obturator nerve. This technique already proved to be useful for acute pain control in hip fracture or postoperative control in dynamic hip screw or nail insertion operation. However, it has not been compared with intrathecal morphine for total hip replacement yet.

Detailed Description

By using combine ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block with periarticular infiltration with mutimodal analgesic drugs will have longer duration time to first rescue analgesic drug compared with combine intrathecal morphine with periarticular infiltration with multimodal analgesic drugs.
