Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Peripheral nerve blocks in lower concentration of local anaesthetics combined with general anaesthesia or subarachnoid block for surgery will not cause toxicity, but provide good postoperative analgesia. AIM: Compare the efficacy of 3 in 1 versus psoas compartmental block in relieving postoperative pain for orthopaedic procedure in femur. TYPE OF STUDY: 50 patients randomized into two groups. Group 1: 3 in 1 nerve block and group 2: psoas compartmental block. METHODS: In Group 1: 0.5ml/kg upto a maximum of 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the femoral nerve upwards, drug tracks along the fascial sheath to block lumbar plexus and ingroup 2 drug was injected into the psoas compartment. RESULTS: Mean duration of postoperative analgesia in group 1 was 526.6 minutes and in group 2 was 618.6 minutes CONCLUSION: Psoas compartmental block is better than 3 in 1 block for postoperative analgesia for orthopaedic procedures in femur.
