Brief summary

Comparative Study between Adductor canal block combined with infiltration OF The interspace between popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee block versus genicular nerves Block combined with IPACK in Postoperative analgesia after knee replacement surgery

Detailed description

Patient informed written consent and ethical committee approval of Faculty of Medicine; Ain Shams University will be obtained before patient allocation. • Study procedures: Supervisors and experts will do all the study procedures. Patients undergoing unilateral Total knee replacement (TKR) will be randomly assigned into one of the following groups using computer generated codes (15 patients in each group): Group 1 (ACB - IPACK group): will receive spinal anesthesia and ultrasound-guided Adductor canal nerve block, as well as infiltration of the space between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block. Group 2 (GNB - IPACK group): will recieve spinal anesthesia and US guided Genicular nerves block and IPACK block.

MeasureTime frameDescription
1- Comparing both groups regarding the time needed ( in hours) for the first call rescue analgesia post operatively.5 minutes after ending of operationTotal knee replacement (TKR) is a well-known popular surgical procedure for knee diseases, including end-stage knee osteoarthritis that causes severe postoperative pain and prolonged immobility. Acute pain control can be provided with multimodal analgesia, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids. However, NSAIDs cause many side effects as peptic ulcer and gastritis, also opioids have gastrointestinal side effects as constipation, nausea and vomiting as well as respiratory depression. Regional analgesia has been used as another modality to provide sufficient perioperative pain relief with minimal opioid consumption to avoid it's adverse effects peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) is a common practice in orthopedic surgery. PNBs provide excellent pain management after TKA, promote early mobilization, and reduce the consumption of opioids, the incidence of opioid-related adverse effects, and the hospital stay
