ABSTRACT
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 48â¯h 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 ANDMETHODS:
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 (2.2â¯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.Palabras clave
