RESUMEN
Introducción: La artroplastia total de cadera es una de las intervenciones quirúrgicas más frecuentes en el contexto hospitalario. Sin embargo, sigue desconociéndose el método ideal para manejar el dolor postoperatorio. Las técnicas de analgesia multimodal basadas en la anestesia regional se encuentran entre las soluciones más prometedoras. Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el dolor postoperatorio tras la artroplastia total de cadera, de acuerdo con si se realizaron, o no, bloqueos del nervio periférico (bloqueo femoral, bloqueo de la fascia iliaca y bloqueo del grupo de nervios pericapsulares). Se midió el consumo de morfina intravenosa durante la estancia del paciente en la unidad de cuidados posanestésicos, así como el número de rescates con opioides transcurridas 24 y 48 h de la intervención. Como objetivos secundarios, se establecieron la prevalencia de la lesión nerviosa, la prolongación del bloqueo cuadricipital y el consumo de morfina, de acuerdo con otras variables de interés. Materiales y métodos: En este estudio retrospectivo observacional, se recopilaron datos de la historia clínica digital de 656 pacientes de cirugía traumatológica de abril de 2018 a agosto de 2020, con los criterios de inclusión siguientes: mayores de 18 años, ASA I-III, artroplastia total de cadera primaria con anestesia general o anestesia subaracnoidea (solo con bupivacaína hiperbárica) y uso de levobupivacaína para el bloqueo del nervio periférico. Resultados: Se seleccionó un total de 362 pacientes. La indicación quirúrgica principal fue coxartrosis (61,3%), seguida de fractura de cadera (22,6%). Se realizaron bloqueos del nervio periférico en 169 pacientes (66,3% femoral, 27,7% PENG, y 6% de fascia ilíaca). El consumo medio postoperatorio de opioides en la UCPA fue inferior en los pacientes que recibieron bloqueo PENG (2,2 mg) o femoral (3,27 mg), en comparación con los que no recibieron ninguno de los dos (6,69 mg)...(AU)
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most frequent surgical interventions in the hospital setting. Nonetheless, the ideal method to manage post-operative pain is still unknown. Multimodal analgesia techniques based on regional anaesthesia are amongst the most promising solutions. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty according to whether peripheral nerve block was performed (femoral block, fascia iliaca block and pericapsular nerve group block). Intravenous morphine consumption during the patient's stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit was measured, as well as the number of opioid rescues at 24 and 48h post intervention. As secondary objectives, the prevalence of nerve injury, prolonged quadricipital block, and morphine consumption were established according to other variables of interest. Materials and methods: In this observational retrospective study, data was collected from the electronic medical record of 656 traumatological surgery patients from April 2018 to August 2020, with the following inclusion criteria: over 18 years old, ASA I-III, primary total hip arthroplasty under general anaesthesia or subarachnoid anaesthesia (only with hyperbaric bupivacaine) and use of levobupivacaine for peripheral nerve block. Results: A total of 362 patients were selected. The main surgical indication was coxarthrosis (61.3%), followed by hip fracture (22.6%). Peripheral nerve blocks were performed on 169 patients (66.3% femoral, 27.7% PENG, and 6.0% fascia iliaca). Mean postoperative opioid consumption in PACU was lower in patients in who received a PENG (2.2 mg) or a femoral (3.27 mg) block, compared to those who received neither (6.69 mg). There were no differences in opioid rescues at 24 and 48h after the procedure...(AU)

Peripheral nerve blocks were performed on 169 patients (66.3% femoral, 27.7% PENG, and 6.0% fascia iliaca). Mean postoperative opioid consumption in PACU was lower in patients in who received a PENG (2.2â¯mg) or a femoral (3.27â¯mg) block, compared to those who received neither (6.69â¯mg). There were no differences in opioid rescues at 24 and 48â¯h after the procedure. Nerve injury incidence was low (.8%), and not associated with nerve blocks. The incidence of prolonged quadricipital paralysis was also low (1.3%), and was mainly associated with femoral nerve block (75% of cases). CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study supports the use of regional blocks as opioid-sparing techniques, highlighting their role in rapid functional recovery with no motor impairment.

Introducción: La fractura de cadera es una emergencia ortopédica frecuente que asocia elevada morbimortalidad y dolor intenso. Las técnicas analgo-anestésicas locorregionales, tanto centrales como periféricas, ocupan un lugar preferente dentro del arsenal terapéutico multimodal. A los bloqueos clásicos se ha sumado recientemente el bloqueo pericapsular, o PENG (PEricapsular Nerve Group). El objetivo es evaluar en pacientes con fractura de cadera la eficacia antinociceptiva del bloqueo PENG preoperatorio, el bloqueo motor residual y el tiempo necesario para la recuperación funcional postoperatoria. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo prospectivo en pacientes programados para artroplastia total de cadera. El bloqueo PENG se realizó previo a la cirugía. Se evaluó el dolor con escala visual numérica (EVN) antes de la realización del bloqueo, 30minutos después, en el postoperatorio inmediato y a las 24horas de la intervención, el grado de bloqueo motor según la escala de Bromage y el tiempo necesario para la deambulación asistida. Resultados: En todos los pacientes el bloqueo PENG proporcionó analgesia eficaz. Logró disminuir 3 o más puntos la EVN en todos los momentos evaluados. La diferencia media entre el dolor previo y posterior al bloqueo fue de 7,5 puntos en la EVN, lo que permitió el traslado y la colocación del paciente sin alteración hemodinámica, exacerbación del dolor, ni otras complicaciones. Conclusiones: El bloqueo PENG es una técnica analgésica regional efectiva y segura para pacientes con fractura de cadera; facilita la movilización y la colocación previa a la cirugía sin exacerbación del dolor, y favorece una temprana movilidad y rehabilitación.
Introduction: Hip fracture is a frequent orthopedic emergency which associates high morbidity and mortality and intense pain. Locoregional analgo-anesthetic techniques, both central and peripheral, occupy a preferential place in the multimodal therapeutic arsenal. Recently, a new regional blockade has emerged, the pericapsular block or PENG block (PEricapsular Nerve Group). The objective is to evaluate in patients with hip fracture, the antinociceptive efficacy of the preoperative PENG block, residual motor block and time for postoperative functional recovery. Method and materials: Prospective descriptive observational study with patients going to have total hip arthroplasty. PENG block was performed before surgery. Pain was assessed with the Visual Numerical Scale (VNS) before the blockade, 30min later, in the immediate postoperative period and 24h after the intervention. Motor block according to the Bromage scale and time needed for assisted walking were also evaluated. Results: PENG block provided effective analgesia in all patients, with a decrease in at least 3 points on the VNS at every step in which it was evaluated. The average difference between pain before and after the block was 7.5 points on the VNS. It allowed the transfer and placement of the patient without hemodynamic alteration, exacerbation of pain or other complications. Conclusions: PENG block is an effective and safe regional analgesic technique for patients with hip fracture. It allows mobilization and placement before surgery without pain exacerbation, promoting early mobility and rehabilitation.(AU)
