Brief summary

To compare the efficacy and complications of IPACK and adductor canal block combination and epidural block in patients who will be operated for knee arthroscopy under spinal anesthesia.

Detailed description

Between 15.08.2022 and 15.04.2023, the patients who will be operated on for knee surgery under spinal anesthesia, older than 18 years of age were included in the study. Demographic characteristics of the patients, comorbidities, ASA scores, mobilization time, amount of postoperative analgesic use, and postoperative pain scores of the 1. 8. 24. hours will be observed.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) evaluation for postoperative pain	8. Hour	The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) evaluation for postoperative pain	1. Hour	The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
