After getting approval from College research committee (CRC) and Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC), Patients fulfilling inclusion criteria will be included in our study.
This prospective randomized study will be carried out in the Department of Anaesthesiology at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre.
Pre- anesthetic evaluation will be done prior to surgery.
Written informed consent for the procedure and anaesthesia will be taken from all the patients and participation-information sheet will be filled out.
Each patient will be explained the entire procedure, use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and possible complications.(bleeding, hematoma, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension, peripheral nerve injury or systemic toxicity to local anaesthetic drug.).
Two groups will be created
Group P (n=40)- PIP (20ml 0.5% ropivacaine)[2]+ Adductor canal block (10ml 0.5% ropivacaine)[3]
Group S (n=40)- Lateral approach for proximal sciatic nerve block(20ml 0.5% ropivacaine) +Adductor canal block.(10ml 0.5% ropivacaine each
Duration of motor block will be bromage – 1.
(0 min,15min,30min,45min,60min, 2hrs 4hrs, 8hrs,12 hrs,
16hrs,18hrs,
and 24hrs.)
Duration of sensory block will be regain of pin prick.
(0 min, 15min, 30min, 45min, 60min, 2hrs 4hrs, 8hrs,12 hrs,
16hrs,18hrs, and 24hrs.)
Post Op the patient will be shifted
to PACU and1 gm PCM 8 hrly i/v
will be given as per standard institute protocol. Post OP
vitals will be
monitored at 0 min,
15min,30min,45min,60min, 2hrs 4hrs, 8hrs,12 hrs,
16hrs,18hrs, and 24hrs
Pain will be evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)
that
characterizes and measure pain between 0-10. (0
min,15min,30min,45min,60min, 2hrs 4hrs, 8hrs,12 hrs,
16hrs,18hrs,
and 24hrs.).
Number of patients requiring rescue analgesia will be noted.
Time of first rescue analgesia(I/V tramadol 1.5mg/kg)
VAS >4 .
Total rescue analgesic consumption in milligrams over 24 hrs.
The patients will be observed for first 24 hours for
bleeding,
hematoma,bradycardia,tachycardia,hypertension,hypotension
, peripheral nerve injury or systemic toxicity to local
anaesthetic drug
Data will be analyzed using the appropriate statistical
method
