Evaluation of efficacy of combined ultrasound assisted adductor canal and IPACK block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee surgeries
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Postoperative analgesia is an essential part of the perioperative care of any surgical patient. Knee injuries and arthroscopy assisted ligament repairs are getting more common nowadays. Systemic opioids are the mainstay of postoperative analgesia but with side effects. Complete de afferentation is also not possible with drugs. In a case series of five patients, we administered spinal anaesthesia followed by a single shot combination of adductor canal block and IPACK block (interfascial plane between popliteal artery and capsule knee) to get early postoperative analgesia. There were no side effects. These results may open out further research in such combined blocks after knee surgery.
